List runtime status counters. Same shape as show_variables but for
AI agents call show_status to retrieve information from Querybridge 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 runtime status information from the database without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary operations. It is purely informational, similar to SHOW STATUS in SQL, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'show_status' and description 'List runtime status counters' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification capability. Description is incomplete but the phrasing clearly denotes a read-only query operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List runtime status counters. Same shape as show_variables but for. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Querybridge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Querybridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for show_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 Querybridge. Nothing to install.
show_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 show_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 show_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.
show_status is provided by the Querybridge MCP server (mahmoudhassanmustafa/querybridge-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
