Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `docker-list`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/0xshariq-docker-mcp-server/docker-list

## Facts

- Tool: `docker-list`
- Server: Docker MCP Server (`0xshariq/docker-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xshariq-docker-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/0xshariq/docker-mcp-server
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

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

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

## Why docker-list is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays metadata about available Docker tools and aliases. It performs a read-only query operation with no capability to create, modify, delete, execute arbitrary operations, or trigger state changes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an agent gains knowledge of available commands, which is informational only.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'docker-list' and description 'List all available Docker MCP tools and CLI aliases with usage examples' indicate retrieval of information without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call docker-list to retrieve information from Docker 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 Docker MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "docker-list": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
