AI agents call gateway_status to retrieve information from MCP Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays status information about gateway configuration—health metrics, service prefixes, and tool counts. It is purely informational and does not modify, execute, delete, or create any data. It presents no risk of unintended consequences when called by an AI agent, as it only returns status information about the system state.
From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'checks configured sub-service health status, prefix and tool count' (查看网关已配置子服务的健康状态、前缀和工具数量). The verbs used (查看 = view/check) denote read-only querying with no side effects.

Register the MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for gateway_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 MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.
gateway_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 gateway_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 gateway_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.
gateway_status is provided by the MCP Gateway MCP server (lunfengchen/gateway-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
