AI agents call status to retrieve information from Scopa without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and displays current game information. It has no side effects, does not modify game state, and does not execute external operations. It is a simple informational retrieval function typical of game interfaces.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'status' and description 'Show the current state of the game (hand, table, scores, whose turn)' indicates a read-only operation that retrieves and displays game state without modifying anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show the current state of the game (hand, table, scores, whose turn). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Scopa MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Scopa MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Scopa. Nothing to install.
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 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 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.
status is provided by the Scopa MCP server (seboostian02/scopa-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
status is one line of Scopa's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
