Why omniwire_healthcheck needs a policy

This tool executes monitoring and diagnostic operations across distributed infrastructure nodes. While it does not modify state (which would make it Write or Destructive) or move money (Financial), it does trigger external operations whose effects depend on the arguments (which nodes, what checks).

From the tool's definition The tool 'runs' a comprehensive health check across all nodes and returns structured status including connectivity, disk, memory, load, and service checks.

How to control omniwire_healthcheck

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "omniwire_healthcheck": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "omniwire_healthcheck_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

omniwire_healthcheck stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OmniWire — 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.
