Check current authentication status: logged in, user email, session expiry, roles.
AI agents call auth_status to retrieve information from CIB Seven MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads authentication metadata (login status, email, expiry, roles) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It has no side effects and only queries the current authentication state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only learn about the authenticated session. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'auth_status' and description 'Check current authentication status: logged in, user email, session expiry, roles' indicate a query operation that retrieves session/authentication information without modifying state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check current authentication status: logged in, user email, session expiry, roles. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CIB Seven MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CIB Seven MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for auth_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 CIB Seven MCP Server. Nothing to install.
auth_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 auth_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 auth_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.
auth_status is provided by the CIB Seven MCP Server MCP server (krixerx/cib7-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
