What compute_status does on Tenzro Ledger MCP
AI agents call compute_status to retrieve information from Tenzro Ledger MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why compute_status is rated Low
This tool performs a data retrieval operation (returns a summary/status) with no capability to modify, delete, or execute external operations. It is informational only, similar to a status check or monitoring query, which is the lowest risk category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'compute_status' and description 'Return a summary of this node's compute-rental state' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves state information without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs compute_status safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tenzro Ledger MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For compute_status, this is the rule to start with:
compute_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tenzro Ledger MCP, apply this rule, and every compute_status call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about compute_status
Return a summary of this node's compute-rental state. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tenzro Ledger MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tenzro Ledger MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for compute_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 Tenzro Ledger MCP. Nothing to install.
compute_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 compute_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 compute_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.
compute_status is provided by the Tenzro Ledger MCP server (https://canton-mcp.tenzro.network/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
