What power_off_range does on Ludus FastMCP
AI agents call power_off_range to retrieve information from Ludus FastMCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why power_off_range is rated Low
Even though power_off_range only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs power_off_range safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ludus FastMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For power_off_range, this is the rule to start with:
power_off_range is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 power_off_range call is checked against it from then on.
