AI agents call get_recovery_session_status to retrieve information from Kiln without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves status information about a recovery session without modifying, executing, or destructively affecting any data or hardware state. It is a straightforward information retrieval operation. In the context of 3D printer control, querying recovery session status poses minimal risk—it does not trigger print operations, modify configurations, or delete data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_recovery_session_status' and description 'Get the current status of a recovery session' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and action of checking status are characteristic of read-only queries.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current status of a recovery session. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kiln MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kiln MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_recovery_session_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 Kiln. Nothing to install.
get_recovery_session_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_recovery_session_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_recovery_session_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_recovery_session_status is provided by the Kiln MCP server (codeofaxel/Kiln). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
