Get statistics about the current index state.
AI agents call get_indexing_status to retrieve information from Codebase Contextifier 9000 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata and statistics about an existing index. It performs a query operation with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive operations. The read-only nature and informational purpose place it squarely in the Read category with low severity, as misuse would at worst expose internal system state information.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_indexing_status' and description states it 'Get statistics about the current index state' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get statistics about the current index state. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codebase Contextifier 9000 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Codebase Contextifier 9000 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_indexing_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 Codebase Contextifier 9000. Nothing to install.
get_indexing_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 get_indexing_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 get_indexing_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.
get_indexing_status is provided by the Codebase Contextifier 9000 MCP server (jarmentor/codebase-contextifier-9000). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
