How to control wiki_check_staleness ↓

AI agents call wiki_check_staleness to retrieve information from Reporecall without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

wiki_check_staleness performs a read-only comparison to determine staleness status. It retrieves and queries the state of wiki pages and their references, with no side effects, no data modification, and no external execution. This is a pure information-retrieval operation, fitting the Read category with low severity since misuse would only surface stale information, not cause harm.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Check[s] if wiki pages are stale" — a read-only verification operation. No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities are mentioned. The tool only compares timestamps/states between wiki pages and referenced files.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access wiki_check_staleness gives an agent:

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

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

wiki_check_staleness 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 Reporecall — 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.
