## Why list_containers is rated Low

This tool only lists/retrieves information about existing Docker containers. It has no side effects, cannot modify or delete containers, and poses minimal risk even if invoked repeatedly or with unexpected arguments. The action is read-only and informational.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_containers' and description 'List Docker containers' indicate a query operation that retrieves container metadata without modifying state."

## Use case

AI agents call list_containers to retrieve information from 1Panel MCP Server 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 1Panel MCP Server:

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