- Homepage: https://github.com/1425sd/spine-MCP
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified

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

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

## Why spine_info is rated Low

The tool is explicitly limited to inspection and metadata retrieval with no side effects. The description explicitly forbids modification or export actions, confirming this is a read-only operation.

From the tool's own definition: "'inspect Spine project, JSON, binary skeleton, or folder metadata' and 'Do not use it to export, modify, pack, or open projects'"

## Use case

AI agents call spine_info to retrieve information from Spine 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 Spine:

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

## 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`
