Show the orchestrator bridge status: which IDE instances are connected, their workspaces, health, and how many Claude sessions are active.
AI agents call getOrchestratorStatus to retrieve information from Patchwork Os 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 connected IDE instances, workspaces, health metrics, and active sessions. It performs no data modifications, deletions, code execution, or side effects. It is a pure information retrieval operation, fitting squarely into the Read category with low severity since misuse would only expose status information without enabling harmful actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getOrchestratorStatus' and description 'Show the orchestrator bridge status: which IDE instances are connected, their workspaces, health, and how many Claude sessions are active' indicates a query/retrieval operation that returns status information…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access getOrchestratorStatus gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Patchwork Os, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getOrchestratorStatus:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"getOrchestratorStatus": {}
}
}getOrchestratorStatus is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Show the orchestrator bridge status: which IDE instances are connected, their workspaces, health, and how many Claude sessions are active. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Patchwork Os MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Patchwork Os MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getOrchestratorStatus: 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 Patchwork Os. Nothing to install.
getOrchestratorStatus 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 getOrchestratorStatus 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 getOrchestratorStatus. 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.
getOrchestratorStatus is provided by the Patchwork Os MCP server (oolab-labs/patchwork-os). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Patchwork Os, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
