WHAT IT DOES

What primary_status does on Yaver

AI agents call primary_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.

RISK

Why primary_status is rated Low

This tool queries and returns status information about a device without altering any state, executing code, or triggering side effects. It is a read-only operation analogous to `yaver primary status --json` which is a CLI status command. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could only gain visibility into device state, not manipulate it.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'Live status of the user's primary remote device' including agent version, lifecycle, runners, dev-server, project, and transport.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs primary_status safely

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

primary_status Allowed

primary_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": {
    "primary_status": {}
  }
}

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

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