Get status of Gradle daemon(s).
AI agents call daemon_status to retrieve information from Gradle MCP Server 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 running Gradle daemon processes without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely observational/informational, making it a Read category risk with low severity since misuse would only expose non-sensitive operational metadata about the local Gradle environment.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'daemon_status' and description 'Get status of Gradle daemon(s)' indicates a read-only query operation that retrieves daemon status information with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get status of Gradle daemon(s). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gradle MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gradle MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for daemon_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 Gradle MCP Server. Nothing to install.
daemon_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 daemon_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 daemon_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.
daemon_status is provided by the Gradle MCP Server MCP server (jermeyyy/gradle-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
