Return a quick status snapshot of the MCP server process, including uptime, memory usage, and Node.js version.
AI agents call server_status to retrieve information from D-Tools MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves system diagnostics and status information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be exposure of minor server infrastructure details (uptime, memory). This is a classic Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool returns 'a quick status snapshot' of server metrics (uptime, memory usage, Node.js version) with no modification or side effects described. This is purely informational retrieval.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return a quick status snapshot of the MCP server process, including uptime, memory usage, and Node.js version. It is categorised as a Read tool in the D-Tools MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the D-Tools MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for server_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 D-Tools MCP Server. Nothing to install.
server_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 server_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 server_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.
server_status is provided by the D-Tools MCP Server MCP server (saml1211/d-tools-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
