AI agents call queue_status to retrieve information from Reddirect without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves status information about queued items without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It is a passive information-gathering operation typical of Read category tools. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused, as status checks cannot harm data or trigger unwanted operations directly.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Check the status of queued actions' — a read-only query operation with no side effects. No data modification, deletion, or execution capabilities are indicated.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check the status of queued actions. Provide a queue_id for a specific item, or omit to see the full queue. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Reddirect MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Reddirect MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for queue_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 Reddirect. Nothing to install.
queue_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 queue_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 queue_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.
queue_status is provided by the Reddirect MCP server (jeebus87/reddirect). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
