🏥 System Health Check - Monitor server health, performance, and operational metrics. Provides comprehensive monitoring dashboard with real-time insights.
AI agents call health_check to retrieve information from CodeCompass MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
health_check is a diagnostic tool that retrieves and displays system status information. It performs no write operations, executes no code or external commands, and cannot modify or delete data. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Monitor server health, performance, and operational metrics' and 'Provides comprehensive monitoring dashboard with real-time insights.' The use of 'Monitor' and 'dashboard' indicate data retrieval and querying of system state with no…

🏥 System Health Check - Monitor server health, performance, and operational metrics. Provides comprehensive monitoring dashboard with real-time insights. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CodeCompass MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the CodeCompass MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for health_check: 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 CodeCompass MCP. Nothing to install.
health_check 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_check 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_check. 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_check is provided by the CodeCompass MCP server (thealchemist6/codecompass-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
