WHAT IT DOES

What session_status does on Mcp Anything

AI agents call session_status to retrieve information from Mcp Anything without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why session_status is rated Low

This tool retrieves immutable status information about the current session state. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute operations, and does not affect system state. It is purely informational, consistent with the Read category definition of tools that retrieve or query data without side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'session_status' and description 'Get current session status' indicate a retrieval operation that queries state (project loaded, modified, undo/redo levels) without modifying or executing anything.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs session_status safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Anything, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For session_status, this is the rule to start with:

session_status Allowed

session_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

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

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Anything, apply this rule, and every session_status call is checked against it from then on.
