What batch_results does on Mcp Control Plane
AI agents call batch_results to retrieve information from Mcp Control Plane without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why batch_results is rated Low
This tool retrieves and queries the status and results of an existing worker batch. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose existing batch data, not cause system damage or unauthorized state changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'batch_results' and description states it 'Return[s] current status and available results for a worker batch.' The verb 'return' and 'status' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

The rule that runs batch_results safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Control Plane, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For batch_results, this is the rule to start with:
batch_results is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Control Plane, apply this rule, and every batch_results call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about batch_results
Return current status and available results for a worker batch. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Control Plane MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Control Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for batch_results: 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 Mcp Control Plane. Nothing to install.
batch_results 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 batch_results 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 batch_results. 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.
batch_results is provided by the Mcp Control Plane MCP server (albertik322-sudo/mcp-control-plane). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
