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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "validate_server",
    "arguments": {}

## Why validate_server is rated Low

This is a read-only diagnostic operation. It queries server state to validate connectivity and configuration without modifying anything. The low severity reflects that misuse would only reveal information about the target server's status, with no destructive, financial, or code execution implications.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'validate_server' with description 'Validate server connectivity and configuration' performs a diagnostic check that retrieves or queries the state of server connectivity and configuration."

## Use case

AI agents call validate_server to retrieve information from Coolify 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 Coolify:

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