## Why convex_local_status is rated Low

This tool retrieves the operational status of a local service by checking its port availability. It performs a read-only query with no ability to modify, execute code, delete data, or affect financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent cannot cause harm by repeatedly checking service status.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'convex_local_status' and description 'Check if the local self-hosted Convex backend is running' indicate a status query operation with no side effects."

Risk signals: Accepts file system path (directory)

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Yaver:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "convex_local_status": {}
  }
}
```
