Show the current node9 protection status: mode, daemon state, undo engine, pause state,
AI agents call node9_status to retrieve information from Node9-Proxy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays status information about the Node9-Proxy system without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query of system metadata, carrying minimal risk even if invoked by an AI agent without authorization.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Show[s] the current node9 protection status: mode, daemon state, undo engine, pause state' — purely informational retrieval of system state with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access node9_status gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Node9-Proxy, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for node9_status:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"node9_status": {}
}
}node9_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Show the current node9 protection status: mode, daemon state, undo engine, pause state,. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Node9-Proxy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Node9-Proxy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for node9_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 Node9-Proxy. Nothing to install.
node9_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 node9_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 node9_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.
node9_status is provided by the Node9-Proxy MCP server (node9-ai/node9-proxy). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
