AI agents call get_garden_status to retrieve information from Baselings without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only check of garden pool data. It retrieves information about workers and yields but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The verb 'check' and lack of any write, delete, or execution capabilities place this firmly in the Read category with low severity, as misuse would only expose data rather than cause harm or financial loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_garden_status' and description 'Check all garden pools (workers, yields)' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information without modifying state.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_garden_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.
