Get the status of the Graphiti MCP server and database connection.
AI agents call get_status to retrieve information from local-RAG-backend without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and returns status information about the server and database connection. It performs no side effects, makes no modifications to data, executes no external operations, and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent. Status checks are informational reads only.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_status' and description 'Get the status of the Graphiti MCP server and database connection' indicate a retrieval operation that queries the status of system components without modifying any data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the status of the Graphiti MCP server and database connection. It is categorised as a Read tool in the local-RAG-backend MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the local-RAG-backend MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_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 local-RAG-backend. Nothing to install.
get_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 get_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 get_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.
get_status is provided by the local-RAG-backend MCP server (suwa-sh/local-rag-backend). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
