Get a comprehensive status overview of all locks including battery levels, lock states, and any issues
AI agents call get_status to retrieve information from Seam MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns information about lock states, battery levels, and issues without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. It is purely informational (Read category). Even in a smart lock context, status queries pose minimal risk as they cause no physical lock changes or access modifications. Severity is low because misuse only exposes lock status information, not physical access.

Register the Seam MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_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 Seam MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_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 get_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 get_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.
get_status is provided by the Seam MCP Server MCP server (keithah/seam-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
