WHAT IT DOES

What run-view does on Npm

AI agents call run-view to retrieve information from Npm without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why run-view is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and returns structured information about a workflow run. It has no side effects — it reads status, conclusion, jobs, and workflow details without modifying or executing anything.

From the tool's definition 'Views a workflow run by ID. Returns structured data with status, conclusion, jobs (with steps), and workflow details.'

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs run-view safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Npm, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For run-view, this is the rule to start with:

run-view Allowed

run-view is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run-view": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Npm, apply this rule, and every run-view call is checked against it from then on.
