What totp_status does on Yaver
AI agents call totp_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 totp_status is rated Low
This tool only queries and displays the current 2FA status for the authenticated user. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify state, and does not access sensitive data beyond the user's own authentication configuration. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent learning that 2FA is enabled or disabled does not grant unauthorized access or enable further compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Show[s] whether two-factor authentication is enabled' — a read-only query operation that retrieves authentication status without modifying any data or triggering actions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs totp_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 totp_status, this is the rule to start with:
totp_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Yaver, apply this rule, and every totp_status call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about totp_status
Show whether two-factor authentication is enabled for the signed-in Yaver user. 2FA is optional and gates only session issuance — in-flight QUIC/relay traffic is never affected. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Yaver MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Yaver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for totp_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 Yaver. Nothing to install.
totp_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the totp_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for totp_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.
totp_status is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
