WHAT IT DOES

What stream_status does on Mcp Anything

AI agents call stream_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 stream_status is rated Low

This tool retrieves current state information about an active stream. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of status queries place this firmly in the Read category. There are no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive operations. Severity is low because status information is typically non-sensitive operational metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'stream_status' and description 'Get current streaming status' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information without modifying or executing actions.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs stream_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 stream_status, this is the rule to start with:

stream_status Allowed

stream_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": {
    "stream_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 stream_status call is checked against it from then on.
