Why pmpt_status needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries project status information (tracked files, snapshot count, quality score) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure information lookup with no side effects, fitting the 'Read' category. Severity is low because disclosure of project status metrics poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pmpt_status' and description 'Check pmpt project status: tracked files, snapshot count, and quality score' indicate read-only retrieval of project metadata and metrics with no modification or execution capability.

How to control pmpt_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Pmpt, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pmpt_status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pmpt_status": {}
  }
}

pmpt_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Pmpt — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
