Handles of peds near the player (GET_PED_NEARBY_PEDS).
AI agents call nearby_peds to retrieve information from GTAV-CLAUDE-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries in-game data to retrieve identifiers/handles of pedestrians in proximity to the player. It has no side effects—it only reads and returns information about existing game entities. While it operates within a game environment, the operation is fundamentally a data retrieval (Read) with minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'nearby_peds' and description 'Handles of peds near the player (GET_PED_NEARBY_PEDS)' indicate a query operation that retrieves data about nearby pedestrian entities without modifying game state.

Register the GTAV-CLAUDE- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nearby_peds: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches GTAV-CLAUDE-MCP. Nothing to install.
nearby_peds is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the nearby_peds rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for nearby_peds. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
