Check DataForge MCP server health, API connectivity and cache status.
AI agents call df_health to retrieve information from DataForge Semantic MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a health check utility that queries system status. It performs no mutations, executions, or side effects—only reading and reporting diagnostic data. The low severity reflects that misuse would not result in data loss, financial harm, or unauthorized operations; at worst, an agent could repeatedly call it, causing minor performance overhead.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'df_health' and description 'Check DataForge MCP server health, API connectivity and cache status' indicate a diagnostic/monitoring function that retrieves status information without modifying data or triggering operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check DataForge MCP server health, API connectivity and cache status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DataForge Semantic MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DataForge Semantic MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for df_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 DataForge Semantic MCP Server. Nothing to install.
df_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 df_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 df_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.
df_health is provided by the DataForge Semantic MCP Server MCP server (sgromych/dataforge-mcp-gateway). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
