Update range configuration. Args: config: Range configuration object user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: Updated configuration
AI agents use update_range_config 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.
This tool creates or modifies configuration data reversibly (Write category). It does not execute arbitrary code (Execute), delete data permanently (Destructive), or move money (Financial). However, severity is high rather than medium because misconfigured range settings could compromise security testing integrity, affect multiple users' environments, or expose sensitive test data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_range_config' and description 'Update range configuration' indicate modification of existing data. The presence of optional 'user_id' parameter with 'admin only' restriction suggests privilege escalation vectors.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_range_config 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 update_range_config:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"update_range_config": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "update_range_config_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}update_range_config 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.

Update range configuration. Args: config: Range configuration object user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: Updated configuration. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ludus FastMCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Ludus Fast MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_range_config: 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 Ludus FastMCP. Nothing to install.
update_range_config is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_range_config 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 update_range_config. 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.
update_range_config 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.
