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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why docker_container_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves Docker container metadata without creating, modifying, or deleting any resources. It is a read-only query operation that returns container information. The severity is low because listing containers exposes operational details but does not enable direct system compromise or data modification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'docker_container_list' and description states 'List all Docker containers.' The verb 'list' and action of retrieving/querying container information with no modifications."

## Use case

AI agents call docker_container_list to retrieve information from Aapanel 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 Aapanel:

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