Show real-time status of all Claude instances
AI agents call claude_senator_status to retrieve information from Claude Senator without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays current status information about Claude instances. It is a read/query operation with no side effects — it only reads and presents data. The severity is low as misuse would only expose instance metadata, not modify or destroy anything.
