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

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

## Why get_host_info is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves information about the host operating system without modifying, executing commands, or deleting data. It is purely informational—returning metadata like OS version, hostname, and kernel details. While host information could theoretically inform reconnaissance in an attack, the tool itself performs no destructive, financial, or execution-based action.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_host_info' and description 'Get info about the host OS (HAOS version, hostname, kernel, etc.)' indicate read-only retrieval of system metadata with no state changes or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_host_info to retrieve information from Ha Nexus Agent 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 Ha Nexus Agent:

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