vault_sync_status

List vault sync jobs and discovered items for an org. Shows what was found, classified, imported, and what needs review.

Part of the Clevername MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call vault_sync_status to retrieve information from Clevername without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though vault_sync_status only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

How do I enforce a policy on vault_sync_status? +

What risk level is vault_sync_status? +

vault_sync_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit vault_sync_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vault_sync_status rule in your Intercept 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 vault_sync_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for vault_sync_status. 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.
