AI agents call get_steam_recent_activity to retrieve information from PersonalizationMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves historical gaming activity data from Steam without modifying, creating, or deleting any information. It is a straightforward read operation querying personal user data. The severity is low because even if accessed by an unauthorized AI agent, viewing past gaming activity presents minimal risk compared to other categories—no financial impact, no destructive operations, and no code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'get' (retrieve operation) and description states 'Get user's recent Steam gaming activity' — a data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or side effects.

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

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

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