Why flow_queue_status needs a policy

This tool performs read-only status checking of job queue information. It retrieves historical and current state data with no side effects—no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an attacker gaining access could observe queue metadata but cannot alter workflows, generate content, or cause harm beyond information disclosure.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'flow_queue_status' and description 'Check the job queue' indicate a query/monitoring operation that retrieves status information about jobs (active, pending, completed, failed) without modifying any data.

How to control flow_queue_status

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Flow Browser MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for flow_queue_status:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "flow_queue_status": {}
  }
}

flow_queue_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Google Flow Browser MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
