Why create_new_range is rated Medium
This tool creates a new cyber range environment, which is a reversible write operation. While it allocates resources and creates infrastructure, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, move money, or trigger destructive changes. The blast radius is moderate—misuse could consume resources or create unwanted environments, but the effect is containable and reversible through deletion or teardown.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_new_range' and description states 'Create a new range.' The verb 'create' indicates data creation/instantiation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_new_range safely

create_new_range stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ludus FastMCP, apply this rule, and every create_new_range call is checked against it from then on.
