Get the current status of repository indexing operations. This tool provides detailed information about ongoing or completed indexing processes, including progress percentage, file counts, and timing information.
AI agents call get_indexing_status to retrieve information from RAG Documentation MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves status information about indexing operations. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations—only passive monitoring and reporting of existing process states. This is characteristic of a Read operation with minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_indexing_status' and description 'Get the current status' and 'provides detailed information about ongoing or completed indexing processes' indicate pure data retrieval with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_indexing_status gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RAG Documentation MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_indexing_status:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_indexing_status": {}
}
}get_indexing_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the RAG Documentation MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RAG Documentation MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_indexing_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 RAG Documentation MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_indexing_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_indexing_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_indexing_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_indexing_status is provided by the RAG Documentation MCP Server MCP server (rahulretnan/mcp-ragdocs). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
