Get health status for the current site
AI agents call get_site_health to retrieve information from UniFi MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns health status information about a network site. It performs data retrieval only—no creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations. This is a straightforward monitoring/observability function typical of Read category tools. The low severity reflects minimal risk if accessed inappropriately, as it only exposes status information without control capabilities.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_site_health' and description 'Get health status for the current site' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Get health status for the current site. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UniFi MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the UniFi MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_site_health: 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 UniFi MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_site_health 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_site_health 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_site_health. 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_site_health is provided by the UniFi MCP Server MCP server (nntkio/unifimcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
