# managed_agent_status

Get the lifecycle state of a managed cloud-agent session: idle/running/error, title, last error. Use when native conversation memory is wrong because you need the cloud session\

## Facts

- Tool: `managed_agent_status`
- Server: Ruflo (`ruvnet/ruflo`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/ruflo.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "managed_agent_status",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why managed_agent_status is rated Low

This is a query/status-check operation that retrieves metadata about an existing agent session without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It falls clearly into the Read category with low severity since it only exposes informational state data about agent lifecycle and error history.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'managed_agent_status' and description indicate it retrieves state information ('Get the lifecycle state') of a managed agent session, including status (idle/running/error), title, and last error."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Ruflo:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "managed_agent_status": {}
  }
}
```
