What check_agent_status does on 8004swap
AI agents call check_agent_status to retrieve information from 8004swap without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why check_agent_status is rated Low
Even though check_agent_status only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs check_agent_status safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 8004swap, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For check_agent_status, this is the rule to start with:
check_agent_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 8004swap, apply this rule, and every check_agent_status call is checked against it from then on.
