Get current status of the Midos hive system.
AI agents call hive_status to retrieve information from MidOS - MCP Community Library without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and returns the current status of a system component (the Midos hive). It performs no mutations, does not execute arbitrary code, and does not delete or transfer resources. It is a simple diagnostic/status query operation, placing it in the Read category with low severity since status information is typically non-sensitive operational metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'hive_status' and description 'Get current status of the Midos hive system' indicate a retrieval operation that queries system state without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current status of the Midos hive system. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MidOS - MCP Community Library MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MidOS - MCP Community Library MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hive_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 MidOS - MCP Community Library. Nothing to install.
hive_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 hive_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 hive_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.
hive_status is provided by the MidOS - MCP Community Library MCP server (midos-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
