What present_status does on Dialogbrain
AI agents call present_status to retrieve information from Dialogbrain without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why present_status is rated Low
This tool queries the current state of a screen-share session to determine what content is being displayed. It performs no modifications, deletions, or side effects. The action is informational only — reading the current presentation status, page ID, URL, and title. This is a straightforward Read operation with low severity since it merely returns observational data about an ongoing screen share.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'returns presenting plus the page_id, url and title read live from the shared tab' — purely retrieves/queries the current state of a screen share without modifying anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs present_status safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Dialogbrain, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For present_status, this is the rule to start with:
present_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 Dialogbrain, apply this rule, and every present_status call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about present_status
Ask what the room is ACTUALLY seeing on the screen-share right now. Returns presenting plus the page_id, url and title read live from the shared tab.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the Dialogbrain MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Dialogbrain MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for present_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 Dialogbrain. Nothing to install.
present_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 present_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 present_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.
present_status is provided by the Dialogbrain MCP server (https://api.dialogbrain.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
