Server status + crypto info.

Part of the Zkevidenceoracle server.

health_check is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call health_check to retrieve information from Zkevidenceoracle without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though health_check only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access health_check gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so health_check only ever does what you allow.

What does the health_check tool do? +

Server status + crypto info.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Zkevidenceoracle MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on health_check? +

Register the Zkevidenceoracle MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for health_check: 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 Zkevidenceoracle. Nothing to install.

What risk level is health_check? +

health_check is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit health_check? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the health_check 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 health_check completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for health_check. 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 health_check? +

health_check is provided by the Zkevidenceoracle MCP server (https://tooloracle.io/zk/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Zkevidenceoracle tool call.
