## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_services",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_services is rated Low

This tool queries Windows service metadata and returns informational properties. It has no side effects—it does not start, stop, modify, or delete services. The blast radius is minimal; misuse would only expose service configuration information already available to users with standard Windows access.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool enumerates services via Win32_Service and retrieves service properties (name, state, start mode, display name, path). No modification, execution, or deletion is performed; purely data retrieval."

## Use case

AI agents call list_services to retrieve information from Procmon without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Procmon:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_services": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
