What get_stats does on Entroly Context Engine

AI agents call get_stats to retrieve information from Entroly Context Engine without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_stats needs a policy

This tool retrieves and reports statistical data about the current session state without modifying any data, triggering external actions, or causing side effects. It is purely informational/observational in nature, fitting the Read category with low severity due to lack of blast radius from misuse.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_stats' and description 'Get comprehensive session statistics' with retrieval-only operations: 'Shows token savings, duplicate detection counts, entropy distribution, dependency graph stats, checkpoint status, and cost estimates.' No mutations,…

How to control get_stats

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Entroly Context Engine, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_stats:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_stats": {}
  }
}

get_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Entroly Context Engine — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on get_stats? +

Register the Entroly Context Engine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_stats: 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 Entroly Context Engine. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_stats? +

get_stats is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_stats? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_stats 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.

How do I block get_stats completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_stats. 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.
