Get the current status of documentation sync, including cache age and available updates.
AI agents call midnight-docs-status to retrieve information from Midnight Nextjs without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only informational tool that queries the state of a documentation system without producing side effects. It returns metadata about sync status and cache state, similar to a status check or health probe. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused—returning stale status information poses no direct risk to blockchain operations or application state.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves status information about documentation sync, cache age, and available updates. Verbs indicate query/retrieval operations: 'Get', 'status', 'cache age'. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations are performed.

Register the Midnight Nextjs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for midnight-docs-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 Midnight Nextjs. Nothing to install.
midnight-docs-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 midnight-docs-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 midnight-docs-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.
midnight-docs-status is provided by the Midnight Nextjs MCP server (midnight-nextjs-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
