AI agents call get_job_status to retrieve information from Dune without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves status information about query execution jobs. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute queries—it simply polls and reports the current state of a job. This is a read-only operation with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Check query execution status' with polling behavior. The action is to retrieve status information about a running job, with no modification or execution of queries themselves.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check query execution status. Polls for 30s. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Dune MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Dune MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_job_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 Dune. Nothing to install.
get_job_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_job_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_job_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_job_status is provided by the Dune MCP server (nice-bills/dune-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
