Get current FDS simulation settings including time, ambient conditions,
AI agents call bulc_get_simulation_settings to retrieve information from BULC Building Designer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves current simulation configuration parameters without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents no risk of data loss, code execution, or financial impact. Low severity due to read-only nature and limited scope of accessible information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'bulc_get_simulation_settings' with description 'Get current FDS simulation settings' uses retrieval verb 'Get' indicating data query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current FDS simulation settings including time, ambient conditions,. It is categorised as a Read tool in the BULC Building Designer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the BULC Building Designer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for bulc_get_simulation_settings: 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 BULC Building Designer. Nothing to install.
bulc_get_simulation_settings 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 bulc_get_simulation_settings 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 bulc_get_simulation_settings. 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.
bulc_get_simulation_settings is provided by the BULC Building Designer MCP server (using76/bulc_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
