Check RustChain node health status. Returns node version, uptime, database status, and backup age. Use this to verify the network is operational before other calls.
AI agents call rustchain_health to retrieve information from RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and reports operational status information about a RustChain node. It has no side effects, does not modify state, does not execute code or transactions, and does not delete or create data. It is a pure informational read operation, appropriate for verifying preconditions before other operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse cannot directly harm systems or data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'returns' node version, uptime, database status, and backup age. Verbs like 'check' and 'returns' indicate read-only query operations with no modification or execution of external actions.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access rustchain_health gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for rustchain_health:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"rustchain_health": {}
}
}rustchain_health is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Check RustChain node health status. Returns node version, uptime, database status, and backup age. Use this to verify the network is operational before other calls. It is categorised as a Read tool in the RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rustchain_health: 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 RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server. Nothing to install.
rustchain_health 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 rustchain_health 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 rustchain_health. 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.
rustchain_health is provided by the RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server MCP server (scottcjn/rustchain-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
