Why hfss_get_process_status needs a policy

This tool queries the current state of the HFSS process or application. It retrieves information (status) without creating, modifying, deleting, executing arbitrary operations, or committing financial resources. This is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius—misuse would only return status data that is already accessible to the user running HFSS.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'hfss_get_process_status' and description 'Get HFSS process/application status' indicate retrieval of status information without modification.

POLICY

How to control hfss_get_process_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and HFSS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for hfss_get_process_status:

policy.json

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

hfss_get_process_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register HFSS MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
