AI agents call reelgrep_health to retrieve information from Reelgrep 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 endpoint that performs a query-only operation: it verifies server reachability and returns static configuration details and counts. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute external code, and does not delete anything. It fits the Read category as a data retrieval operation.

Confirm the MCP server is reachable and report the configured SQLite index path plus the indexed video count. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Reelgrep MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Reelgrep MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reelgrep_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 Reelgrep. Nothing to install.
reelgrep_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 reelgrep_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 reelgrep_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.
reelgrep_health is provided by the Reelgrep MCP server (solomonneas/reelgrep-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
