Why kaiten_get_status needs a policy

This tool queries server status information (cache state, queue status, configuration, and metrics) for informational purposes only. It performs no data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be disclosure of internal system state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'kaiten_get_status' and description 'Get server status (cache/queue/config/metrics)' indicate retrieval of diagnostic and operational information with no modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control kaiten_get_status

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "kaiten_get_status": {}
  }
}

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

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