Get the status of an async operation (backup, install, restore, etc.) by task ID. Returns state (pending/running/success/error/cancelled), progress (0-100%), and message.
AI agents call cloudron_task_status to retrieve information from Mcp Cloudron without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and returns the status of existing operations without modifying any data, triggering actions, or affecting infrastructure. It is analogous to checking a log or status endpoint. The information returned (state, progress, message) are read-only diagnostic data that does not change system state.
From the tool's definition The tool description states it retrieves status information: 'Get the status of an async operation... Returns state, progress, and message.' This is a pure query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the status of an async operation (backup, install, restore, etc.) by task ID. Returns state (pending/running/success/error/cancelled), progress (0-100%), and message. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Cloudron MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Cloudron MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cloudron_task_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 Cloudron. Nothing to install.
cloudron_task_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 cloudron_task_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 cloudron_task_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.
cloudron_task_status is provided by the Mcp Cloudron MCP server (serenichron/mcp-cloudron). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
