AI agents call kotor_list_references 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 queries reference information from game resources without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The explicit "Read-only" designation and list/trace operation confirm it is purely informational retrieval. No blast radius from misuse since it cannot alter game state or execute code.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Read-only" and operation is "list outbound refs" (query/retrieve operation with no side effects)
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Use when tracing what a resource references: list outbound refs (scripts, conversations, tags, template resrefs) by field path. 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 kotor_list_references: 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_list_references 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_list_references 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 kotor_list_references. 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.
kotor_list_references 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.
