monitor_print

What monitor_print does on Kiln

AI agents call monitor_print 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 monitor_print is rated Low

Monitoring a print process involves querying printer sensors, telemetry, and job status—actions that retrieve data with no side effects. While the empty description introduces some uncertainty, the semantic meaning of 'monitor' strongly indicates a non-destructive, non-modifying operation. This aligns with the Read category (low severity, as exposure would only leak operational data, not enable damaging control).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'monitor_print' suggests passive observation/monitoring of an ongoing 3D print operation. The empty description limits certainty, but the verb 'monitor' is consistent with read-only operations that retrieve or query status data without modifying…

The rule that runs monitor_print 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 monitor_print, this is the rule to start with:

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