Get current system status including CPU, Memory, and Disk usage.
AI agents call system_get_status to retrieve information from PC-Control MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries system metrics and returns status information without modifying anything. It is a read-only operation that gathers data about resource usage. While the broader server enables dangerous operations (Execute via system_execute_command, potentially Destructive via process management), this specific tool is a simple information retrieval function with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'system_get_status' and description states it retrieves 'current system status including CPU, Memory, and Disk usage.' This is purely observational—no modifications, executions, or side effects.

Get current system status including CPU, Memory, and Disk usage. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PC-Control MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PC-Control MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for system_get_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 PC-Control MCP Server. Nothing to install.
system_get_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 system_get_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 system_get_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.
system_get_status is provided by the PC-Control MCP Server MCP server (krsnmlna1/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
