AI agents call detectInstallations 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/discovers information about game installations without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward read operation that returns candidate paths, making it the lowest-risk category.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Read-only" and the name/purpose indicates discovery of installation paths through environment variables and platform defaults—a pure query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Use when you need to discover candidate K1/K2 installation paths (env vars and platform defaults). 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 detectInstallations: 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.
detectInstallations 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 detectInstallations 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 detectInstallations. 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.
detectInstallations 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.
