- Homepage: https://github.com/tjnull/Ludus-FastMCP
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no

- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "validate_config",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why validate_config is rated Low

Validation is a query operation that retrieves and inspects configuration data to verify correctness. It has no side effects—it does not deploy, modify, delete, or execute code. The tool simply reports the state of the configuration, making it a Read category with low severity, as misuse would only result in false validation results rather than actual system changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate validation/checking of configuration: 'Validate range configuration before deployment.' This is a read-only operation that checks configuration state without modifying or executing anything."

## Use case

AI agents call validate_config 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Ludus FastMCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "validate_config": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
