WHAT IT DOES

What semantic_status does on Iconnect

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

RISK

Why semantic_status is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and displays status information about the semantic vector index (entry counts, source breakdown). It has no side effects and performs no writes, deletions, or executions. Pure read/query operation with minimal blast radius.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs semantic_status safely

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

semantic_status Allowed

semantic_status 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": {
    "semantic_status": {}
  }
}

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

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

FAQ

Questions about semantic_status

What does the semantic_status tool do? +

Show the current state of the semantic vector index -- total entries, breakdown by source. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Iconnect MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on semantic_status? +

Register the Iconnect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for semantic_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 Iconnect. Nothing to install.

What risk level is semantic_status? +

semantic_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit semantic_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the semantic_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.

How do I block semantic_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for semantic_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.

What MCP server provides semantic_status? +

semantic_status is provided by the Iconnect MCP server (iconnect-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
