WHAT IT DOES

What services_status does on Yaver

AI agents call services_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 services_status is rated Low

This tool queries and displays status information about local services without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only introspection tool typical of monitoring/diagnostic utilities. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose status visibility, not enable data manipulation or code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'services_status' and description 'Show status of all configured local services' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The tool retrieves status information (running state, port, health, memory) about services.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs services_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 services_status, this is the rule to start with:

services_status Allowed

services_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": {
    "services_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 services_status call is checked against it from then on.
