AI agents call get_status to retrieve information from Mullvad without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the current state of the Mullvad VPN connection and returns that information. It performs a read-only operation with no capability to modify settings, execute commands, or affect system state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only learn the VPN connection status, which is non-sensitive metadata. Classification as Read is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_status' and description 'Get current Mullvad VPN connection status' indicate retrieval of status information with no modification or side effects.

get_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 get_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 get_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.
get_status is provided by the Mullvad MCP server (oresam-xyz/mullvad-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
