Why get_server_status needs a policy

This is a diagnostic/monitoring tool that queries and returns server state information. It performs no write operations, does not execute external processes or simulations, and does not delete or modify data. The action is purely informational—checking server health and status metrics.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_server_status' and description 'Server health check: run root path, max concurrency, loaded model status' indicate retrieval of server state information with no modification or execution of operations.

How to control get_server_status

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

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

get_server_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 Openstudio — 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.
