What uptime_kuma_snapshot does on Mcp Control Plane
AI agents call uptime_kuma_snapshot 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 uptime_kuma_snapshot is rated Low
This tool performs read-only operations against a SQLite database to retrieve monitoring status data. It queries existing information about Uptime Kuma monitors and their heartbeat information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius is minimal as it only exposes observability data that is already stored in the database with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Read Uptime Kuma monitors and latest heartbeat directly from the server SQLite DB.' The verb 'Read' and the data retrieval nature (monitors and heartbeat status) indicate query/retrieval operations with no modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs uptime_kuma_snapshot 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 uptime_kuma_snapshot, this is the rule to start with:
uptime_kuma_snapshot 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 uptime_kuma_snapshot call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about uptime_kuma_snapshot
Read Uptime Kuma monitors and latest heartbeat directly from the server SQLite DB. 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 uptime_kuma_snapshot: 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.
uptime_kuma_snapshot 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 uptime_kuma_snapshot 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 uptime_kuma_snapshot. 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.
uptime_kuma_snapshot 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.
