What status does on Waiaas

AI agents call status to retrieve information from Waiaas without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why status needs a policy

This tool retrieves status information about an existing bridge deposit without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation that provides visibility into transaction state. No financial risk, no code execution, no destructive action. The tool name 'status' and description both indicate a query-only operation.

From the tool's definition Check Across bridge deposit status (filled/pending/expired/refunded) — queries status of a bridge transaction with no side effects or modifications.

How to control status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Waiaas, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "status": {}
  }
}

status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Waiaas — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the status tool do? +

Check Across bridge deposit status (filled/pending/expired/refunded). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Waiaas MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on status? +

Register the Waiaas MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Waiaas. Nothing to install.

What risk level is status? +

status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the 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.

How do I block status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for 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.

What MCP server provides status? +

status is provided by the Waiaas MCP server (minhoyoo-iotrust/waiaas). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Waiaas tool call.

Start from Waiaas, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
