Lightweight status check for a contract. Returns status string + per-party signed flag + polygon-anchor flag. Use this for polling in long-running flows; cheaper than get_contract.
AI agents call get_contract_status to retrieve information from QuickContract MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
get_contract_status is a read-only query that retrieves contract status information. While the server enables financial operations like signing contracts and releasing escrow, this specific tool only checks and returns status data without side effects. The low blast radius reflects that status checks cannot trigger contract actions or move funds.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Returns status string + per-party signed flag + polygon-anchor flag' and is used 'for polling in long-running flows'.

Lightweight status check for a contract. Returns status string + per-party signed flag + polygon-anchor flag. Use this for polling in long-running flows; cheaper than get_contract. It is categorised as a Read tool in the QuickContract MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the QuickContract MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_contract_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 QuickContract MCP. Nothing to install.
get_contract_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_contract_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_contract_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_contract_status is provided by the QuickContract MCP server (quickcontractio/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
