## Why renef_hooks_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about currently active hooks without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely informational, similar to listing or querying state. While the broader server provides dynamic instrumentation and reverse engineering capabilities that could be misused, this specific tool only reads hook status.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'renef_hooks_list' and description 'Lists all active hooks' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call renef_hooks_list to retrieve information from Renef 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 Renef:

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