Return secret-safe server health and configuration status.
AI agents call health to retrieve information from Poke HabitTracker MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns system health metrics and configuration status. The term 'secret-safe' explicitly indicates sensitive data is protected, and the action is purely informational—no creation, modification, deletion, or external execution occurs. This is a standard diagnostic read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes already-known system state information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'health' and description 'Return secret-safe server health and configuration status' indicates retrieval of diagnostic information with no side effects or data modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return secret-safe server health and configuration status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Poke HabitTracker MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Poke HabitTracker MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 Poke HabitTracker MCP. Nothing to install.
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 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 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.
health is provided by the Poke HabitTracker MCP server (smoothiekanoble/poke-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
