What health_check does on Versionator

AI agents call health_check to retrieve information from Versionator without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why health_check needs a policy

Health check endpoints are standard monitoring operations that passively retrieve system state (online/offline, latency). No data is modified, no code is executed beyond internal status probes, and no financial or destructive operations occur. This is a low-severity read operation; even if misused by an AI agent, it only reveals infrastructure status information.

From the tool's definition Tool is described as 'Health check endpoint for Docker and monitoring' — it queries system status without modifying or executing operations. Consistent with other Read tools on this server that retrieve metadata from package registries.

Can I rate-limit health_check? +

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.

How do I block health_check completely? +

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.
