Check the status of an assistant generation run. If run_id is provided, looks up that specific run (use this after a send_prompt over HTTP). Otherwise returns the latest unacknowledged run for the project.
AI agents call get_assistant_status to retrieve information from Prowpt MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves status information about existing assistant runs without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a query/lookup function that has no side effects on the system state, making it a Read category risk with low severity.
From the tool's definition The tool performs a lookup operation to 'Check the status of an assistant generation run' and 'returns the latest unacknowledged run' - purely retrieval actions with no modifications or side effects.

Check the status of an assistant generation run. If run_id is provided, looks up that specific run (use this after a send_prompt over HTTP). Otherwise returns the latest unacknowledged run for the project. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Prowpt MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Prowpt MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_assistant_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 Prowpt MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_assistant_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_assistant_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_assistant_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_assistant_status is provided by the Prowpt MCP Server MCP server (prowptai/prowpt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
