AI agents call describeResource to retrieve information from KotorMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and summarizes game resource data (GFF, TLK, 2DA formats) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It follows the Read category: retrieves or queries data with no side effects.
From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states 'Read-only' and indicates it 'provides a short summary of a resource' without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Use when you need a short summary of a resource (GFF, TLK, 2DA) using resolution order. Read-only. It is categorised as a Read tool in the KotorMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kotor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for describeResource: 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 KotorMCP. Nothing to install.
describeResource 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 describeResource 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 describeResource. 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.
describeResource is provided by the Kotor MCP server (th3w1zard1/kotormcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
