How to control import_community_scenario ↓

AI agents use import_community_scenario 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

Importing a scenario is a reversible modification that adds new configuration or test data to the cyber range environment. While it creates data (Write category) rather than merely reading it, it is not destructive since imports can be removed.

From the tool's definition The tool imports a scenario from a community repository, which creates new scenario data in the system. The description explicitly states it returns an 'Import result with scenario information', indicating data is being added/created in the Ludus environment.

Risk signalsAdmin/system-level operation

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access import_community_scenario 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 import_community_scenario:

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

import_community_scenario 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.

import_community_scenario is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit import_community_scenario? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the import_community_scenario 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.

How do I block import_community_scenario completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for import_community_scenario. 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.

What MCP server provides import_community_scenario? +

import_community_scenario is provided by the Ludus Fast MCP server (tjnull/ludus-fastmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
