batch_get_process_status

IDCheck: batch status lookup. Send up to 100 process_ids per call and receive the same status payload as get_process_status for each. Use this for nightly reconciliation jobs or backfill, not for hot-path polling.

What batch_get_process_status does on Mcp Ap2

AI agents call batch_get_process_status to retrieve information from Mcp Ap2 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why batch_get_process_status needs a policy

This tool retrieves process status information in bulk without side effects. Despite being part of a payment protocol server (AP2), the tool itself only queries existing status data rather than modifying, executing, or moving money. The stated use case (reconciliation and backfill) confirms it is a read-only operation.

From the tool's definition Tool performs "batch status lookup" and "receive the same status payload", which are read operations. The description explicitly recommends it for "nightly reconciliation jobs or backfill", indicating data retrieval without modification.

How to control batch_get_process_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for batch_get_process_status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "batch_get_process_status": {}
  }
}

batch_get_process_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Ap2 — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
