Low Risk

This tool performs a status/availability check, which is a read-only operation that queries system state. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial actions. The verb 'check' combined with 'status' and 'configured' clearly indicates retrieval of existing state information only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_bigquery_status' and description 'Check if Google BigQuery patent search is available and configured' indicate a status check operation that retrieves configuration state without modifying or executing external operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access check_bigquery_status gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude Patent Creator, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for check_bigquery_status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "check_bigquery_status": {}
  }
}

check_bigquery_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Claude Patent Creator — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
