Show current Overlord connection status, capabilities, and profile info.
AI agents call status to retrieve information from Overlord MCP Server 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 displays the current state of the Overlord C2 framework connection and configuration. It has no capability to modify data, execute commands, delete resources, or trigger financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an agent learns connection details and capabilities already available to an authenticated user. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'status' and description states it 'Show[s] current Overlord connection status, capabilities, and profile info' — purely a query operation that retrieves information without modifying, executing external code, or causing side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show current Overlord connection status, capabilities, and profile info. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Overlord MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Overlord MCP Server 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 Overlord MCP Server. 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 Overlord MCP Server MCP server (skeeminator/overlord-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
