get_status
AI agents call get_status to retrieve information from Mcp Signal without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Status queries typically retrieve information without side effects. However, confidence is moderate (0.7) rather than high because the description is empty and 'get_status' could theoretically refer to various types of status (account, device, pairing, etc.), some of which might have minor security implications. The sibling tools are predominantly Read category, supporting this classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_status' combined with server context (Signal messaging) suggests retrieval of status information. The tool is grouped with read operations like 'read_messages', 'list_chats', 'list_groups', and 'search_messages'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
get_status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Signal MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Signal MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_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 Mcp Signal. Nothing to install.
get_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_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_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_status is provided by the Mcp Signal MCP server (sealjay/mcp-signal). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
