WHAT IT DOES

What claims_status does on Claude Flow

AI agents use claims_status to create or update resources in Claude Flow, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claude Flow environment.

RISK

Why claims_status is rated Medium

The tool writes/modifies claim (permission) state for agents. Updating an agent's capability claims is a reversible write operation, but the blast radius is high because incorrectly granting or modifying claims could allow agents to perform privileged operations they should not have access to, effectively escalating privileges across the system.

From the tool's definition 'Update claim status' — modifies per-agent capability/permission state; 'claims_grant + claims_check before letting an agent run privileged ops'

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs claims_status safely

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

claims_status Rate-limited

claims_status stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about claims_status

What does the claims_status tool do? +

Update claim status Use when nothing native covers per-agent capability gating — Claude Code agents have file-system access by default. Pair claims_grant + claims_check before letting an agent run privileged ops. For trusted in-session work, no claims call is needed. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Claude Flow MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on claims_status? +

Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for claims_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 Claude Flow. Nothing to install.

What risk level is claims_status? +

claims_status is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit claims_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the claims_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.

How do I block claims_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for claims_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.

What MCP server provides claims_status? +

claims_status is provided by the Claude Flow MCP server (claude-flow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
