Get the current output and status of an AI agent process by PID. Defaults to a compact result shape; set verbose to true for full metadata and detailed parsed output.
AI agents call get_result to retrieve information from Agent Bridge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about existing processes without modifying, terminating, or executing anything. It is purely informational—querying the status and output of a background subprocess. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed as a result of calling this tool.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the current output and status of an AI agent process by PID' with options for compact or verbose result shapes. The verb 'Get' and focus on retrieving output/status indicate a read-only operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current output and status of an AI agent process by PID. Defaults to a compact result shape; set verbose to true for full metadata and detailed parsed output. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agent Bridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Agent Bridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_result: 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 Agent Bridge. Nothing to install.
get_result 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_result 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_result. 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_result is provided by the Agent Bridge MCP server (lailai258/agent-bridge-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
