## Facts

- Tool: `docker-logs`
- 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-logs",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why docker-logs is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries container log data with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations on containers or the Docker system. The action is informational and non-destructive, consistent with the Read category for tools that retrieve data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'docker-logs' and description 'Fetch logs for a specific Docker container' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves existing container logs without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations."

## Use case

AI agents call docker-logs 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-logs": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
