Check current authentication status and session information. Returns authentication state, user details, session age, and time remaining before expiration. Useful for monitoring session health.
AI agents call session_status to retrieve information from Session-Based Authenticated MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool queries and retrieves session information (authentication state, user details, session age, expiration time) with no side effects. It performs a passive check of existing state rather than creating, modifying, or deleting data. This is a classic Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'session_status' and description 'Check current authentication status and session information. Returns authentication state, user details, session age, and time remaining before expiration.' — this is a read-only query that retrieves session…

Check current authentication status and session information. Returns authentication state, user details, session age, and time remaining before expiration. Useful for monitoring session health. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Session-Based Authenticated MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Session-Based Authenticated MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for session_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 Session-Based Authenticated MCP Server. Nothing to install.
session_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 session_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 session_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.
session_status is provided by the Session-Based Authenticated MCP Server MCP server (omiderfanmanesh/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
session_status is one line of Session-Based Authenticated MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
