Compare local files against remote TokRepo assets. Returns new/updated/unchanged status for each asset. Like
AI agents call tokrepo_status to retrieve information from TokRepo — AI Asset Registry without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that retrieves and compares metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this tool can only retrieve information about asset status, which poses no direct risk to systems or data integrity.
From the tool's definition Tool performs comparison and returns status of local files against remote assets with no modification capability. Description explicitly states it 'Returns new/updated/unchanged status' indicating query/retrieval only.

Compare local files against remote TokRepo assets. Returns new/updated/unchanged status for each asset. Like. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TokRepo — AI Asset Registry MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TokRepo — AI Asset Registry MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tokrepo_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 TokRepo — AI Asset Registry. Nothing to install.
tokrepo_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 tokrepo_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 tokrepo_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.
tokrepo_status is provided by the TokRepo — AI Asset Registry MCP server (tokrepo-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
