AI agents call ingest_status to retrieve information from Resolve without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about an ongoing or past ingestion process. It performs a read-only check of progress metrics and status, with no side effects, data modification, or execution capability. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only waste time checking status repeatedly or leak ingestion progress information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ingest_status' and description 'Check progress of a running or completed ingestion job' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information without modifying state or triggering new operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check progress of a running or completed ingestion job. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Resolve MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ingest_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 Resolve. Nothing to install.
ingest_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 ingest_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 ingest_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.
ingest_status is provided by the Resolve MCP server (jenkinsm13/resolve-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
