Get a list of active jobs, including their statuses and creation dates
AI agents call get_active_jobs to retrieve information from Keepit MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries the status of running backup/protection jobs. It performs a read-only operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The information returned (job statuses and creation dates) is informational only. Misuse by an AI agent would be limited to gathering status information without causing harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_active_jobs' and description 'Get a list of active jobs, including their statuses and creation dates' clearly indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Register the Keepit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_active_jobs: 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 Keepit MCP. Nothing to install.
get_active_jobs 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 get_active_jobs 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 get_active_jobs. 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.
get_active_jobs is provided by the Keepit MCP server (keepit-official/keepit-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
