# status

Reports whether this session can drive a game right now, and what to do if not. Distinguishes the three states that matter: the hub process (always up if this answers), extensionConnected (a browser attached to it), and tabsAvailable (tabs the user ticked with "Use this tab for MCP"). target is the tab THIS session is pinned to — null until one is chosen, and carrying attached: false while a pinned tab is momentarily not reporting (a reload or a re-attaching browser: retry, do not re-ask the user) or when the user unticked it (it is then also in inactiveTabs: do not retry, ask whether to tick it again or choose another tab); candidates lists every drivable tab across every attached browser with its engine, and inactiveTabs lists live tabs the user has not ticked, and silentTabs counts tabs that ARE ticked but whose in-page agent is not answering — those need a tab RELOAD, not enabling. silentTargets lists their target ids when the browser reports them: browser.reload (or browser.navigate) with one of those as target works without a page agent and recovers the tab; every other tool keeps failing NO_TARGET on it. Top-level paired means at least one attached browser is paired; browsers[].paired is the per-browser value, and it alone decides whether an ext.* call in that browser is allowed. An upgrade field means the background hub answering you predates this connector (it survives package upgrades) — do what its action says, including re-checking the config of this client, before trusting anything else here. remedy always names the fix for the current state — relay the human, GUI-only steps to the user; act on the rest yourself. Needs no browser and is the right first call to diagnose any failure; it usually returns immediately, but can take a few seconds when it has to start the background hub or wait for a browser to finish (re)attaching.

## Facts

- Tool: `status`
- Server: Pixi Inspector (`pixi-inspector-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/pixi-inspector-mcp.md
- Install: `npx -y pixi-inspector-mcp`
- Homepage: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pixi-inspector-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "status",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why status is rated Low

Even though status only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call status to retrieve information from Pixi Inspector without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Pixi Inspector:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "status": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
