AI agents call deep_research_status to retrieve information from Musubix without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves status information about an ongoing research session. It performs a read-only query with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—at worst, it leaks status information about research progress.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'deep_research_status' and description 'Get current status and progress of a deep research session' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification of data or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current status and progress of a deep research session. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Musubix MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Musubix MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for deep_research_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 Musubix. Nothing to install.
deep_research_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 deep_research_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 deep_research_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.
deep_research_status is provided by the Musubix MCP server (@nahisaho/musubix-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
