What infra_status does on CoWork OS
AI agents call infra_status to retrieve information from CoWork OS without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why infra_status is rated Low
This tool performs information retrieval with no side effects. It reads current infrastructure status and wallet state without modifying, executing, or destroying anything. While it accesses wallet state information, it does not move money or commit financial obligations—it merely reports the wallet state, making it a Read operation.
From the tool's definition The tool 'infra_status' retrieves status information ('Get overall infrastructure status') about provider connections, active sandboxes, and wallet state. It queries existing state without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations.

The rule that runs infra_status safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CoWork OS, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For infra_status, this is the rule to start with:
infra_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 CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every infra_status call is checked against it from then on.
