Check proxy network health \u2014 live node count, device types, active provider, service status. Use before starting a large scraping workflow to confirm the network is healthy.
AI agents call agentproxy_status to retrieve information from Novada Proxy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves system status metrics and health information about the proxy network infrastructure. It is a read-only operation that returns observational data (node count, device types, service status) without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any operations.
From the tool's definition The tool 'agentproxy_status' performs status checks that 'Check proxy network health — live node count, device types, active provider, service status.' These are query/monitoring operations retrieving status information with no side effects or data…

Check proxy network health \u2014 live node count, device types, active provider, service status. Use before starting a large scraping workflow to confirm the network is healthy. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Novada Proxy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Novada Proxy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agentproxy_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 Novada Proxy. Nothing to install.
agentproxy_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 agentproxy_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 agentproxy_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.
agentproxy_status is provided by the Novada Proxy MCP server (novadalabs/novada-proxy). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
