Get the current status of the Satstream API server, including uptime, version information, and performance metrics. Use this to check if the API is functioning properly.
AI agents call status_get to retrieve information from Satstream MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query of API health and status information. It retrieves diagnostic data with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive operations. The minimal information disclosed (uptime, version, metrics) poses low risk even if an AI agent calls it unexpectedly, as no sensitive data exposure or system changes are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] the current status' of the API server, retrieving 'uptime, version information, and performance metrics' with no mention of modification, execution, or deletion capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current status of the Satstream API server, including uptime, version information, and performance metrics. Use this to check if the API is functioning properly. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Satstream MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Satstream MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for status_get: 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 Satstream MCP Server. Nothing to install.
status_get 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 status_get 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 status_get. 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.
status_get is provided by the Satstream MCP Server MCP server (satstream/ss-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
