Report lifecycle state for cpe-run managed processes: running, missing, exited, expired or PID-reuse mismatch.
AI agents call managed_lifecycle_report 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 reads and reports the lifecycle status of managed processes. It queries process state information (running, missing, exited, expired, PID-reuse mismatch) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. Consistent with the server's 'safe inspection' and 'dry-run' focus.
From the tool's definition 'Report lifecycle state for cpe-run managed processes: running, missing, exited, expired or PID-reuse mismatch' — purely reports/queries state with no side effects
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Report lifecycle state for cpe-run managed processes: running, missing, exited, expired or PID-reuse mismatch. 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 managed_lifecycle_report: 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.
managed_lifecycle_report 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 managed_lifecycle_report 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 managed_lifecycle_report. 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.
managed_lifecycle_report 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.
