WHAT IT DOES

What sync_status does on Claude Mobile

AI agents call sync_status to retrieve information from Claude Mobile without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why sync_status is rated Low

This tool retrieves status information about a sync group and its historical run results. The verb 'show' and the passive nature of querying status data confirm this is a Read operation with no side effects. The blast radius is minimal as it only exposes informational data about sync operations, not the ability to trigger, modify, or delete syncs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sync_status' and description 'Show details of a sync group and its last run result' indicate a query operation that retrieves and displays information without modifying state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sync_status safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude Mobile, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sync_status, this is the rule to start with:

sync_status Allowed

sync_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude Mobile, apply this rule, and every sync_status call is checked against it from then on.
