AI agents call kotor_describe_resource_refs 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 reference data about game resources (scripts, conversations, tags, template resrefs) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The explicit 'Read-only' designation confirms it has no side effects. Blast radius is minimal as it only returns informational summaries.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read-only' and describes providing 'a reference summary for any GFF resource' without modification capabilities.

Register the Kotor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for kotor_describe_resource_refs: 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.
kotor_describe_resource_refs 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 kotor_describe_resource_refs 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.
