## Why mcp_get_server_status is rated Low

This tool retrieves server status and monitoring information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk. The low severity reflects that status information is typically non-sensitive operational metadata, and misuse would only inform an agent rather than cause harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'mcp_get_server_status' and description 'Get MongoDB server status information' indicate retrieval of operational metrics and server state without modification. This is a read-only operation that queries server diagnostics."

## Use case

AI agents call mcp_get_server_status to retrieve information from Mongo-MCP 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 Mongo-MCP:

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