Get iFlow status and current configuration.
AI agents call ifp_status to retrieve information from TermPipe MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves status and configuration information without modifying, executing, or destructively acting on any data. It is a read-only operation that queries the state of an iFlow system. While the server overall provides dangerous capabilities (Execute/Destructive via terminal access), this specific tool is limited to information retrieval, making it a Read-category risk with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ifp_status' and description 'Get iFlow status and current configuration' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get iFlow status and current configuration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TermPipe MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the TermPipe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ifp_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 TermPipe MCP. Nothing to install.
ifp_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 ifp_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 ifp_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.
ifp_status is provided by the TermPipe MCP server (wbind-core/termpipe-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
