## Why check_heimdall is rated Low

This tool retrieves status information about a Heimdall dashboard by performing a simple HTTP GET request to the root path. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and poses minimal risk. The only potential concern is reconnaissance of internal infrastructure, but this is a passive read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs a GET request to check reachability of a dashboard application. No data is modified, deleted, or executed on the target system. The description explicitly states it checks 'reachability via GET', which is a read-only HTTP operation."

## Use case

AI agents call check_heimdall to retrieve information from Mcp Nettools 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 Mcp Nettools:

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