Status of a specific build, or the latest if build_number is omitted.
AI agents call get_build_status to retrieve information from Netlinq Jenkins without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and reports status information about existing builds. It has no side effects, cannot trigger actions, and cannot modify or delete data. It is a straightforward read/query operation, characteristic of low-severity informational tools. The sibling tools (trigger_release_build, patch_repository) are more severe, but this particular tool is purely passive introspection.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_build_status' and description 'Status of a specific build, or the latest if build_number is omitted' indicate a query operation that retrieves build status information without modifying or executing anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Status of a specific build, or the latest if build_number is omitted. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Netlinq Jenkins MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Netlinq Jenkins MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_build_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 Netlinq Jenkins. Nothing to install.
get_build_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_build_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_build_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_build_status is provided by the Netlinq Jenkins MCP server (radhakrishna0018/netlinq-jenkins-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
