THE RISK

Low Risk

Why suggest_balancing needs a policy

The tool reads game stats and outputs balancing suggestions. It does not write, execute, or delete any data; it is purely analytical and advisory in nature. Misuse risk is minimal as it only produces recommendations.

From the tool's definition "Analyze stats and suggest balancing adjustments" — the tool analyzes existing data and produces suggestions/recommendations without modifying anything.

POLICY

How to control suggest_balancing

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "suggest_balancing": {}
  }
}

suggest_balancing is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Mcp Game Helper — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
