license_status

What license_status does on Kiln

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

Why license_status is rated Low

The tool appears to query or retrieve licensing status information without side effects. Sibling tools like 'activate_license' (which would be Write/Execute) and 'ams_status' (which would be Read) suggest this follows a read pattern. Low severity because even if misused, checking license status poses minimal harm to the 3D printer system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'license_status' suggests a query for licensing information status; the empty description prevents full certainty, but the naming pattern (comparison with 'activate_license', 'ams_status') indicates this retrieves state rather than modifies it.

The rule that runs license_status safely

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

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