status
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.
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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Acatome Quest MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
