Get the current node status including block height, peer count, uptime, and role.
AI agents call get_node_status to retrieve information from Tenzro Ledger MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query of node status metrics. It retrieves data (block height, peer count, uptime, role) without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or affecting financial state. The verb 'Get' and absence of any mutating or executing language confirms this is a Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_node_status' and description 'Get the current node status including block height, peer count, uptime, and role' indicate a query operation that retrieves node state information with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current node status including block height, peer count, uptime, and role. 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 get_node_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.
get_node_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 get_node_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 get_node_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.
get_node_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.
