How to control generate_config_from_description ↓

AI agents use generate_config_from_description to create or update resources in Ludus FastMCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ludus FastMCP environment.

Medium Risk

An AI agent can call generate_config_from_description faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Ludus FastMCP by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_config_from_description gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ludus FastMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_config_from_description:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_config_from_description": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_config_from_description_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_config_from_description 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Ludus FastMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
