# get_revit_status Check if the Revit MCP API is active and responding Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_revit_status`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/get-revit-status ## Facts - Tool: `get_revit_status` - Server: Revit MCP Server (`demolinator/revit-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/Demolinator/revit-mcp-server - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_revit_status", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_revit_status is rated Low This is a read-only operation that retrieves the operational status of an API. It queries state without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any actions on the Revit model or external systems. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius: an adversary misusing this can only learn whether the API is up, not manipulate designs or data. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_revit_status' and description states 'Check if the Revit MCP API is active and responding' — a pure status/health check query with no side effects." ## Use case AI agents call get_revit_status to retrieve information from Revit MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Revit MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_revit_status": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Revit MCP Server (47) - `delete_elements` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/delete-elements.md - `execute_revit_code` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/execute-revit-code.md - `set_active_view` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/set-active-view.md - `transform_elements` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/transform-elements.md - `ai_element_filter` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/ai-element-filter.md - `analyze_model_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/analyze-model-statistics.md - `check_clashes` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/check-clashes.md - `export_room_data` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/export-room-data.md - `get_current_view_elements` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/get-current-view-elements.md - `get_current_view_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/get-current-view-info.md - `get_element_properties` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/get-element-properties.md - `get_material_quantities` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/get-material-quantities.md - `get_revit_model_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/get-revit-model-info.md - `get_revit_view` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/get-revit-view.md - `get_selected_elements` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/get-selected-elements.md - `list_category_parameters` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/list-category-parameters.md - `list_families` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/list-families.md - `list_family_categories` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/list-family-categories.md - `list_levels` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/list-levels.md - `list_revit_views` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/list-revit-views.md - `clear_colors` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/clear-colors.md - `color_splash` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/color-splash.md - `create_detail_line` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/create-detail-line.md - `create_dimensions` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/create-dimensions.md - `create_duct` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/create-duct.md - `create_grid` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/create-grid.md - `create_level` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/create-level.md - `create_line_based_element` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/create-line-based-element.md - `create_mep_system` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/create-mep-system.md - `create_pipe` — Write — https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server/create-pipe.md - …and 17 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/demolinator-revit-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
