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

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

## Why get_server_info is rated Low

This tool retrieves read-only information about the server (hostname, operating system, IP addresses) with no capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. It is purely informational. While IP addresses could theoretically be sensitive, disclosure of a server's own public metadata has minimal security impact compared to other cPanel operations like user management, DNS changes, or database access.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_server_info' and description 'Get server information (hostname, OS, IP addresses)' indicate retrieval of static server metadata with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_server_info to retrieve information from cPanel MCP Server 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 cPanel MCP Server:

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