Show experimental auto-cleanup policy status and gates. Auto-cleanup is disabled by default.
AI agents call auto_cleanup_status to retrieve information from Clean Process Ended without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and displays the current state of an auto-cleanup policy. It performs no side effects, does not execute cleanup operations (as evidenced by the distinction from sibling tools like 'auto_cleanup_dryrun' and 'managed_cleanup_dryrun'), does not modify configuration, and does not delete or destroy data. It is a pure read operation suitable for auditing or monitoring policy state.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Show[s]' status and gates—a passive retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution. The name 'auto_cleanup_status' indicates status inspection rather than action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show experimental auto-cleanup policy status and gates. Auto-cleanup is disabled by default. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Clean Process Ended MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Clean Process Ended MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for auto_cleanup_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 Clean Process Ended. Nothing to install.
auto_cleanup_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 auto_cleanup_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 auto_cleanup_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.
auto_cleanup_status is provided by the Clean Process Ended MCP server (marcelocaporale/clean-process-ended). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
