Check extended facilitator health: status, version, uptime, timestamp, plus any extra fields the facilitator reports (e.g. relayer/gas/AML status).
AI agents call paybot_health_extended to retrieve information from PayBot MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a monitoring/diagnostic tool that retrieves system health metrics and status information from the PayBot facilitator. It performs only read operations—querying state without altering, executing transactions, or causing irreversible changes. While it operates within a payment infrastructure server, the tool itself does not move funds or commit financial obligations; it only inspects operational metrics.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Check[s] extended facilitator health: status, version, uptime, timestamp, plus any extra fields the facilitator reports'. The verbs 'check' and 'reports' indicate data retrieval with no side effects.

Register the PayBot MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for paybot_health_extended: 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 PayBot MCP Server. Nothing to install.
paybot_health_extended 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 paybot_health_extended 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 paybot_health_extended. 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.
