Show current ELFA config (key masked) and .env load info.
AI agents call elfa_status to retrieve information from CG Alpha MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays configuration and environment status information without side effects. It is a read-only diagnostic utility. The low severity reflects that status queries pose minimal risk—they do not execute code, modify data, delete anything, or move money. Confidence is high because the description clearly indicates a read operation with no mutations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'elfa_status' with description 'Show current ELFA config (key masked) and .env load info' indicates retrieval and display of configuration state and environment information.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show current ELFA config (key masked) and .env load info. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CG Alpha MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CG Alpha MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for elfa_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 CG Alpha MCP. Nothing to install.
elfa_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 elfa_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 elfa_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.
elfa_status is provided by the CG Alpha MCP server (jcf0/cg-alpha-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
