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

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

## Why check_dependency_vulnerabilities is rated Low

This tool performs vulnerability scanning/auditing by checking dependencies against known vulnerability databases. No code is executed, dependencies are not modified, and there are no side effects beyond retrieving and reporting security information. The primary purpose is information gathering for security assessment.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Scan project dependencies for known vulnerabilities' — scanning is a read-only operation that queries vulnerability databases without modifying code, dependencies, or systems."

## Use case

AI agents call check_dependency_vulnerabilities to retrieve information from Claude MCP Server Ecosystem 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 Claude MCP Server Ecosystem:

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

## 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`
