Check OmniFocus connectivity, permissions, and server status. Run this first if experiencing issues.
AI agents call diagnose_connection to retrieve information from OmniFocus MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs diagnostic checks — querying connectivity, permissions, and server status. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The blast radius if misused is minimal as it only reads status information.
From the tool's definition Check OmniFocus connectivity, permissions, and server status. Run this first if experiencing issues.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check OmniFocus connectivity, permissions, and server status. Run this first if experiencing issues. It is categorised as a Read tool in the OmniFocus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the OmniFocus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for diagnose_connection: 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 OmniFocus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
diagnose_connection 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 diagnose_connection 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 diagnose_connection. 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.
diagnose_connection is provided by the OmniFocus MCP Server MCP server (mojenmojen/of-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
