What load_prg_file does on Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server

AI agents use load_prg_file to create or update resources in Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server environment.

Why load_prg_file needs a policy

This tool loads a program file into the C64's memory but explicitly does not execute it. This is a write/state-modification operation (modifying machine memory state), not execution. Since it doesn't run the program, it's Write rather than Execute. Misuse could load unintended programs into memory, but the blast radius is limited since no execution occurs.

How to control load_prg_file

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 load_prg_file:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "load_prg_file": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "load_prg_file_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

load_prg_file 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.

How do I enforce a policy on load_prg_file? +

Register the Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for load_prg_file: 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 Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is load_prg_file? +

load_prg_file is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit load_prg_file? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the load_prg_file 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.

How do I block load_prg_file completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for load_prg_file. 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.

What MCP server provides load_prg_file? +

load_prg_file is provided by the Commodore 64 Ultimate Computer MCP Server MCP server (xphileby/c64u-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
