Muestra el estado de la conexión GIS activa.
AI agents call arcgis_auth_status to retrieve information from ArcGIS MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a status check tool that queries and returns information about the current authentication connection state. It has no side effects, does not execute commands, does not modify data, and does not perform destructive operations. It is purely informational and falls squarely into the Read category with low severity since exposing connection status poses minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'arcgis_auth_status' and description 'Muestra el estado de la conexión GIS activa' (Shows the status of the active GIS connection) indicate a read-only operation that retrieves connection state information without modifying, executing, or deleting…

Muestra el estado de la conexión GIS activa. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ArcGIS MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ArcGIS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for arcgis_auth_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 ArcGIS MCP. Nothing to install.
arcgis_auth_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 arcgis_auth_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 arcgis_auth_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.
arcgis_auth_status is provided by the ArcGIS MCP server (renemorenow/arcgis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
