Generate a random number within a specified range
AI agents call generate_random_number to retrieve information from Simple MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool simply computes and returns a random number within given bounds. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, does not execute external commands, and carries no financial implications. Pure read/compute operation with minimal blast radius.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Generate a random number within a specified range. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Simple MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Simple MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_random_number: 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 Simple MCP Server. Nothing to install.
generate_random_number is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_random_number 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 generate_random_number. 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.
generate_random_number is provided by the Simple MCP Server MCP server (truebad0ur/mcp-simple-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
generate_random_number is one line of Simple MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
