Part of the Flipr X402 server.

flipr_status is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call flipr_status to retrieve information from Flipr X402 without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though flipr_status only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so flipr_status only ever does what you allow.

What does the flipr_status tool do? +

Get detailed gateway status including treasury address, subsystem latencies, and agent count. Use for deeper diagnostics beyond basic health checks. FREE — rate-limited only. [pricing: {"cost":"0","currency":"FREE","type":"free","network":"eip155:8453"}]. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Flipr X402 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on flipr_status? +

Register the Flipr X402 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for flipr_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 Flipr X402. Nothing to install.

What risk level is flipr_status? +

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

Can I rate-limit flipr_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the flipr_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 flipr_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for flipr_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 flipr_status? +

flipr_status is provided by the Flipr X402 MCP server (https://flipr-x402.fly.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Flipr X402 tool call.
