## Facts

- Tool: `whoami`
- Server: FlowDot MCP Server (`flowdot-llc/mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/flowdot-llc-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/flowdot-llc/mcp-server
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

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

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

## Why whoami is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about the authenticated user and their token—a standard read operation that retrieves data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius is minimal since it only exposes user identity information already known to the authenticated session.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'whoami' and description 'Get information about the currently authenticated user and MCP token' indicate retrieval of user identity and authentication metadata with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call whoami to retrieve information from FlowDot 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 FlowDot MCP Server:

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

## 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`
