Get proxy server status and statistics including SSL bumping status
AI agents call proxy_server_status to retrieve information from Web Proxy 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 the state of the proxy server and returns informational metrics (status, statistics, SSL bumping status). It performs only read operations with no capacity to modify, delete, or execute external commands. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse provides only information about the proxy's operational state.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves proxy server status and statistics; described with 'Get' verb indicating data retrieval without modification. No side effects on proxy configuration or traffic.

Get proxy server status and statistics including SSL bumping status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Web Proxy MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Web Proxy MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for proxy_server_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 Web Proxy MCP Server. Nothing to install.
proxy_server_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 proxy_server_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 proxy_server_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.
proxy_server_status is provided by the Web Proxy MCP Server MCP server (mako10k/mcp-web-proxy). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
