Get ruvllm-wasm availability and initialization status. Use when sending every prompt to the Anthropic API is wrong because you need local inference — air-gapped environments, MicroLoRA-fine-tuned per-task adapters, or sub-cent per-call cost. For general Claude work native Task is the right call.

What ruvllm_status does on Claude Flow
AI agents call ruvllm_status to retrieve information from Claude Flow without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why ruvllm_status is rated Low
This tool retrieves status information about a local inference runtime (ruvllm-wasm). It performs a pure read operation—checking availability and initialization state—without modifying any state, executing commands, or triggering side effects. The high confidence reflects the explicit 'Get' verb and status-query semantics in both name and description.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ruvllm_status' and description 'Get ruvllm-wasm availability and initialization status' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

The rule that runs ruvllm_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 ruvllm_status, this is the rule to start with:
ruvllm_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 Claude Flow, apply this rule, and every ruvllm_status call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about ruvllm_status
Get ruvllm-wasm availability and initialization status. Use when sending every prompt to the Anthropic API is wrong because you need local inference — air-gapped environments, MicroLoRA-fine-tuned per-task adapters, or sub-cent per-call cost. For general Claude work native Task is the right call. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude Flow MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ruvllm_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.
ruvllm_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 ruvllm_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 ruvllm_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.
ruvllm_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.
