Part of the Flowforge MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call flowforge_get_stats to retrieve information from Flowforge 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 flowforge_get_stats 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.

Agents calling read-class tools like flowforge_get_stats have been implicated in these attack patterns. Read the full case and prevention policy for each:
Other tools in the Read risk category across the catalogue. The same policy patterns (rate-limit, allow) apply to each.
Get aggregate platform statistics: total runs by status, function count, queue depth, active workers, and recent throughput. Takes no parameters — returns a one-shot snapshot, not a time series. Use for a high-level pulse check. For just connectivity (is the server up?), use flowforge_health_check. For granular per-function details, use flowforge_list_runs with a function_id filter.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Flowforge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for flowforge_get_stats. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Flowforge MCP server.
flowforge_get_stats 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 flowforge_get_stats 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for flowforge_get_stats. 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.
flowforge_get_stats is provided by the Flowforge MCP server (flowforge-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Open source. One binary. Zero dependencies.
