Check auth status. Use only when other tools return auth errors.
AI agents call tp_auth_status to retrieve information from TrainingPeaks-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves authentication status information without modifying data, executing operations, or triggering external changes. It is purely informational and used for diagnostics when authentication errors occur. This aligns with the Read category for non-destructive data retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tp_auth_status' and description 'Check auth status' indicate a status query operation with no side effects.

Check auth status. Use only when other tools return auth errors. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TrainingPeaks-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TrainingPeaks- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tp_auth_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 TrainingPeaks-MCP. Nothing to install.
tp_auth_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 tp_auth_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 tp_auth_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.
tp_auth_status is provided by the TrainingPeaks- MCP server (jamsusmaximus/trainingpeaks-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
