What autopilot_status does on Ruflo

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

Why autopilot_status needs a policy

This tool queries and returns status information about an autopilot system. It performs no write, delete, execution, or financial operations. The description emphasizes it is used for monitoring and retrieving state information to support long-horizon goal tracking. Even though the Ruflo server manages agent swarms and autonomous workflows, this specific tool is purely informational and diagnostic in nature.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get autopilot state' and retrieves 'enabled status, iteration count, task progress, and learning metrics' — these are all read operations with no side effects or data modification.

Questions about autopilot_status

What does the autopilot_status tool do? +

Get autopilot state including enabled status, iteration count, task progress, and learning metrics.

Pair with autopilot_enable + a goal description, then let cron fires advance the work. For interactive single-task sessions, native Task is fine. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ruflo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on autopilot_status? +

Register the Ruflo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for autopilot_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 Ruflo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is autopilot_status? +

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

Can I rate-limit autopilot_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the autopilot_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 autopilot_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for autopilot_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 autopilot_status? +

autopilot_status is provided by the Ruflo MCP server (ruvnet/ruflo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
