Runtime status: initialized, mode, CBT, audit, vector/drawer count, config summary.
AI agents call get_health to retrieve information from Strata Memory MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
get_health queries system health and status information in read-only fashion. It provides diagnostic data about the memory system's operational state, mode, and configuration without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. This is a passive monitoring/inspection tool with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool returns 'Runtime status: initialized, mode, CBT, audit, vector/drawer count, config summary' — it retrieves system state and configuration metadata with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Runtime status: initialized, mode, CBT, audit, vector/drawer count, config summary. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Strata Memory MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Strata Memory MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_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 Strata Memory MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_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 get_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 get_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.
get_health is provided by the Strata Memory MCP Server MCP server (sherryli-vc/strata-memory). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
