unflag

Remove the flag at a cell on the Minesweeper board

How to control unflag ↓

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

Medium Risk

This tool modifies the state of the Minesweeper game board by removing a flag from a cell. It is a reversible write operation (the flag can be re-placed), with minimal blast radius as it only affects a game state, not any real-world data or system.

From the tool's definition Remove the flag at a cell on the Minesweeper board

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

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

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

unflag 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 Minesweeper MCP Server — 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.

What does the unflag tool do? +

Remove the flag at a cell on the Minesweeper board. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Minesweeper MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on unflag? +

Register the Minesweeper MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for unflag: 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 Minesweeper MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is unflag? +

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

Can I rate-limit unflag? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unflag 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 unflag completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for unflag. 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 unflag? +

unflag is provided by the Minesweeper MCP Server MCP server (tonypan2/minesweeper-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Minesweeper MCP Server tool call.
