proxy_status

What proxy_status does on Yaver

AI agents call proxy_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.

Why proxy_status is rated Low

This tool only reads and displays the current operational state of the reverse proxy. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The information retrieved (process status, route configuration, PID) poses minimal risk even if exposed to an agent, as it merely informs about the system state without enabling harmful actions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Show reverse proxy status' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries the state of a reverse proxy (Caddy) and returns status information (running state, routes, process ID).

The rule that runs proxy_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 proxy_status, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "proxy_status": {}
  }
}
