WHAT IT DOES

What get_config_category does on Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server

AI agents call get_config_category to retrieve information from Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_config_category needs a policy

This tool only queries and returns configuration information. It has no side effects, cannot modify device state, and poses minimal risk if misused. The blast radius is limited to potential information disclosure about device settings, which is low-severity on a hobby/emulation device.

From the tool's definition 'Get all configuration items in a category' retrieves configuration data from the Commodore 64 device with no modification, deletion, or execution of code.

POLICY

How to control get_config_category

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_config_category:

policy.json

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

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