Check the health status of the service
AI agents call health to retrieve information from Mylocation without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a diagnostic endpoint that retrieves status information. It has no side effects, creates no data modifications, executes no external operations, and poses minimal risk. Categorized as Read with low severity because even if called repeatedly or maliciously, it only returns status information without actionable consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'health' and description 'Check the health status of the service' indicate a read-only operation that queries service status without modifying, executing external commands, or affecting data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check the health status of the service. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mylocation MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mylocation MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for health: 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 Mylocation. Nothing to install.
health 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 health 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 health. 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.
health is provided by the Mylocation MCP server (yhwancha/mylocation-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
