What maps.health does on CoWork OS
AI agents call maps.health 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 maps.health is rated Low
The tool checks (reads) configuration of a maps connector provider. No data is modified, deleted, or executed. It's a diagnostic/status read operation. Confidence is slightly reduced because the description is minimal and 'health' checks could theoretically trigger side effects, but standard health/config checks are read-only.
From the tool's definition 'Check maps connector provider configuration' — purely reads/inspects configuration state
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs maps.health 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 maps.health, this is the rule to start with:
maps.health 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 maps.health call is checked against it from then on.

Register the CoWork OS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for maps.health: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches CoWork OS. Nothing to install.
maps.health is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the maps.health rule in your PolicyLayer 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for maps.health. 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.
maps.health is provided by the CoWork OS MCP server (CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
