## Facts

- Server: Frontmcp (`agentfront/frontmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/frontmcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/agentfront/frontmcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified

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

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

## Why parent-hello is rated Low

This is a simple utility tool that returns a greeting message. It retrieves or queries no sensitive data and produces no side effects—no data creation, modification, deletion, or external operations. It belongs in the Read category as the least risky classification, with low severity due to its trivial nature.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'parent-hello' and description 'A simple hello tool in the parent/root scope' indicate a greeting/informational function with no data modification, deletion, or external action execution."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents call parent-hello to retrieve information from Frontmcp 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 Frontmcp:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "parent-hello": {}
  }
}
```
