# docker_system

Docker system operations and information

Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `docker_system`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/agentics-ai-code-mcp/docker-system

## Facts

- Tool: `docker_system`
- Server: Code MCP Server (`agentics-ai/code-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/agentics-ai-code-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/agentics-ai/code-mcp
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why docker_system is rated High

Docker system operations can include a wide range of actions such as running containers, managing images, networks, volumes, and system-level operations. 'Docker system' commands (like 'docker system prune') can be destructive, but the description is vague. Given the broad scope of 'Docker system operations', this falls under Execute as it triggers external operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Docker system operations and information"

## Use case

AI agents invoke docker_system to trigger actions in Code MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Code MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "docker_system": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "docker_system_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## 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`
