AI agents call get_ifc_knowledge_status to retrieve information from IFC Bonsai MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name strongly suggests a status query operation that retrieves information about IFC knowledge state without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. In the context of the Bonsai Blender MCP server (which handles IFC model management), a status check is a safe read operation.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and IFC Bonsai MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_ifc_knowledge_status:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_ifc_knowledge_status": {}
}
}get_ifc_knowledge_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
