WHAT IT DOES

What pt_status does on Crow

AI agents call pt_status to retrieve information from Crow without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why pt_status is rated Low

pt_status retrieves and reports diagnostic and configuration information from a PeerTube instance without modifying data or triggering actions. This is a classic Read operation with minimal risk; an AI agent misusing it cannot damage systems or data.

From the tool's definition Tool reports status information: 'reachability, version, stats, federation peer count, transcoding config, storage mode'—all read-only queries of system state with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs pt_status safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Crow, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For pt_status, this is the rule to start with:

pt_status Allowed

pt_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pt_status": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Crow, apply this rule, and every pt_status call is checked against it from then on.
