What advance_dig does on Torch-to-Crown
AI agents use advance_dig to create or update resources in Torch-to-Crown, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Torch-to-Crown environment.
Why advance_dig is rated Medium
An AI agent can call advance_dig faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Torch-to-Crown by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs advance_dig safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Torch-to-Crown, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For advance_dig, this is the rule to start with:
advance_dig 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Torch-to-Crown, apply this rule, and every advance_dig call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about advance_dig
Excavate the next 5ft cube, resolve creatures directly beneath it without a save, edge creatures by the printed lower-than-Dexterity d20 check, and approaching creatures by the shared Spells save. A depth beyond 5ft requires the GM-adjusted collapse chance because OSRIC gives only an approximate 25% base. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Torch-to-Crown MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Torch-to-Crown MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for advance_dig: 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 Torch-to-Crown. Nothing to install.
advance_dig 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 advance_dig 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 advance_dig. 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.
advance_dig is provided by the Torch-to-Crown MCP server (Diogenes187/Torch-to-Crown). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
