WHAT IT DOES

What get_podcast_status does on ListenHub MCP Server

AI agents call get_podcast_status to retrieve information from ListenHub MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_podcast_status needs a policy

This tool only retrieves and returns existing podcast episode information without any side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The 'Does not poll' clarification confirms it is a passive query operation. This is a straightforward Read category tool with minimal security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Query[ies] detailed information' and 'returns current status immediately' with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. The data retrieved are metadata and URLs (status, audio URLs, scripts, outline, metadata).

POLICY

How to control get_podcast_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ListenHub MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_podcast_status:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_podcast_status": {}
  }
}

get_podcast_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register ListenHub MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
