get_run_status
AI agents call get_run_status to retrieve information from RunWhen Platform MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to fetch or query the status of a run session within the RunWhen platform. No action words like 'create', 'update', 'delete', 'execute', or 'deploy' are present in the name. Given the context of sibling tools that perform writes (create_*), deletes (delete_*), and deployments (deploy_*), this tool stands apart as a data retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_run_status' indicates retrieval of status information with no modification capability. Empty description limits certainty but naming convention strongly suggests read-only query operation.

get_run_status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RunWhen Platform MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RunWhen Platform MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_run_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 RunWhen Platform MCP. Nothing to install.
get_run_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_run_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_run_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_run_status is provided by the RunWhen Platform MCP server (runwhen-contrib/runwhen-platform-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
get_run_status is one line of RunWhen Platform's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
