What status does on Acatome Quest

AI agents call status to retrieve information from Acatome Quest without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why status needs a policy

The tool name 'status' strongly implies a read-only operation that retrieves the current state of a paper request (e.g., submission status, processing progress). No description is provided, which lowers confidence slightly, but the pattern of companion tools and the semantic meaning of 'status' in request-tracking systems indicate this is a retrieval/query tool with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'status' with no description provided; contextual clue: sibling tools include 'submit', 'submit_file', 'update', suggesting this is a query operation. Status checks typically retrieve state without modifying data.

Questions about status

What does the status tool do? +

status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Acatome Quest MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on status? +

Register the Acatome Quest MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Acatome Quest. Nothing to install.

What risk level is status? +

status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the 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.

How do I block status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for 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.

What MCP server provides status? +

status is provided by the Acatome Quest MCP server (retospect/acatome-quest-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
