THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_session_status needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only query operation that retrieves the current state of a session. It has no capacity to modify data, execute code, delete resources, or trigger autonomous actions. The information returned would inform decision-making but causes no side effects on the system or external services. This is a straightforward diagnostic/observability tool.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly indicate retrieval of status information: 'Get the current status and state of a Jules session.' The verb 'Get' and the focus on querying state without modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_session_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Jules MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_session_status:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_session_status": {}
  }
}

get_session_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Jules MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
