AI agents call index_status to retrieve information from ChatPPT-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries status and statistical information about the RAG index. It performs no mutations, deletions, or external operations—it is purely informational and read-only in nature.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'index_status' and description '获取当前RAG索引的状态和统计信息' (Get current RAG index status and statistics) indicate a retrieval operation that queries index metadata without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access index_status gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and ChatPPT-MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for index_status:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"index_status": {}
}
}index_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

获取当前RAG索引的状态和统计信息. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ChatPPT-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ChatPPT- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for index_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 ChatPPT-MCP. Nothing to install.
index_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 index_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 index_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.
index_status is provided by the ChatPPT- MCP server (pingcy/app_chatppt). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from ChatPPT-MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
