Get the current session status including phase, instruction, and expected_payload.
AI agents call get_session_status to retrieve information from Code Intelligence MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries the current state of a code intelligence session without modifying, executing, deleting, or committing any changes. It is purely informational, making it a Read category risk. The severity is low because reading session metadata poses minimal risk—it cannot execute code, modify files, or cause destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_session_status' and description 'Get the current session status' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. Returns phase, instruction, and expected_payload—all read-only state information.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current session status including phase, instruction, and expected_payload. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Code Intelligence MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Code Intelligence MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_session_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 Code Intelligence MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_session_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_session_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_session_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_session_status is provided by the Code Intelligence MCP Server MCP server (tech-spoke/llm-helper). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
