Why check-ingestion-status needs a policy

This tool retrieves status information about an in-progress document ingestion. It is a passive query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any commands. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve metadata about document processing without affecting data integrity or system state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'check-ingestion-status' and description indicate it only checks/queries the processing status of a document—a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control check-ingestion-status

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "check-ingestion-status": {}
  }
}

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

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

How do I block check-ingestion-status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for check-ingestion-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 check-ingestion-status? +

check-ingestion-status is provided by the Morphik MCP server (morphik-org/morphik-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Morphik MCP tool call.

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