WHAT IT DOES

What monitor_index_build does on Mcpg

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

RISK

Why monitor_index_build is rated Low

Index build monitoring would query system state to report progress, performance metrics, or statistics about index construction. This is a read operation retrieving observability data. It does not create, modify, delete, execute commands, or commit financial transactions. Low severity because misuse would only expose information, not cause operational damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'monitor_index_build' suggests observation/monitoring of an ongoing index build operation. Similar sibling tools like 'analyze_query_plan', 'analyze_lock_hotspots' are introspection/analysis functions.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs monitor_index_build safely

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

monitor_index_build Allowed

monitor_index_build 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": {
    "monitor_index_build": {}
  }
}

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

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