What get_sync_status does on Indigo Protocol MCP
AI agents call get_sync_status to retrieve information from Indigo Protocol MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_sync_status is rated Low
This tool performs a simple read operation to fetch status information. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only obtain unnecessary status information. This is a classic Read category tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sync_status' and description 'Get indexer sync status' indicate a query operation that retrieves the current synchronization status of an indexer without modifying any state or triggering external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_sync_status safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Indigo Protocol MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_sync_status, this is the rule to start with:
get_sync_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 Indigo Protocol MCP, apply this rule, and every get_sync_status call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_sync_status
Get indexer sync status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Indigo Protocol MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Indigo Protocol MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_sync_status: 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 Indigo Protocol MCP. Nothing to install.
get_sync_status 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 get_sync_status 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 get_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.
get_sync_status is provided by the Indigo Protocol MCP server (indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
