Get the status of the PDF documentation search system.
AI agents call pdf_search_status to retrieve information from COMSOL MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves status information about a documentation search system. It performs a read-only query that returns state information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused—an AI agent could only obtain harmless status metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pdf_search_status' and description 'Get the status of the PDF documentation search system' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Register the COMSOL MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pdf_search_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 COMSOL MCP Server. Nothing to install.
pdf_search_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 pdf_search_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 pdf_search_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.
pdf_search_status is provided by the COMSOL MCP Server MCP server (zhangyoupeng1996/codex_mcp_comsol). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
