Get API status and list of allowed endpoints for current user
AI agents call get_api_status to retrieve information from Upgates MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves read-only information about API status and user permissions. It performs no data modification, deletion, or external execution. The action is informational only, making it a Read category tool with low severity—misuse would only expose metadata about the API and user's allowed operations, not trigger destructive or financial consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_api_status' and description 'Get API status and list of allowed endpoints for current user' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get API status and list of allowed endpoints for current user. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Upgates MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Upgates MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_api_status: 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 Upgates MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_api_status 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 get_api_status 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 get_api_status. 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.
get_api_status is provided by the Upgates MCP Server MCP server (mcp-open/upgates-com-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_api_status is one line of Upgates MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
