Get the onboarding status for the authenticated client.
AI agents call get_client_onboarding_status to retrieve information from Client Onboarding MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about an authenticated client's onboarding status. It performs a read-only query operation that has no side effects, data modification, code execution, or irreversible impact. The low severity reflects that it only exposes onboarding status data for an already-authenticated client, limiting blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the onboarding status' which is a retrieval operation with no modification. Server description confirms it 'Enables querying client onboarding status and basic client info' with no side effects mentioned.

Register the Client Onboarding MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_client_onboarding_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 Client Onboarding MCP. Nothing to install.
get_client_onboarding_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_client_onboarding_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_client_onboarding_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_client_onboarding_status is provided by the Client Onboarding MCP server (rezapars/simple-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
