HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/health.open-payments ## Facts - Tool: `health.open-payments` - Server: Mcp (`@2sio/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @2sio/mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/2s-io/sdk - 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": "health.open-payments", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why health.open-payments is rated Low This is a read-only query tool against public healthcare transparency data (Sunshine Act). The CMS Open Payments database is intentionally published for public access and physician conflict-of-interest disclosure. Querying it poses no side effects, data modification risk, or financial risk. Severity is low because the underlying data is already public and the tool merely provides access to it. From the tool's own definition: "Tool returns data from publicly available CMS Open Payments database: 'Lookup by NPI, name, payer (manufacturer) name, or state. Returns recipient + payer + payment (amount, date, nature: consulting/food/travel/royalty) + associated product'." ## Use case AI agents call health.open-payments to retrieve information from Mcp 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 Mcp: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "health.open-payments": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Mcp (571) - `queue.ack` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/queue.ack.md - `store.blob-delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/store.blob-delete.md - `store.doc-delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/store.doc-delete.md - `store.kv-delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/store.kv-delete.md - `store.vector-delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/store.vector-delete.md - `watchers.cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.cancel.md - `ai.council` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.council.md - `ai.screenshot` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.screenshot.md - `batch.run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/batch.run.md - `dev.preflight` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/dev.preflight.md - `dev.regex-test` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/dev.regex-test.md - `hash.compute` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/hash.compute.md - `pubsub.subscribe` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/pubsub.subscribe.md - `queue.lease` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/queue.lease.md - `search.crawl` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/search.crawl.md - `url.render` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/url.render.md - `watchers.crypto-address-activity` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.crypto-address-activity.md - `watchers.earthquake` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.earthquake.md - `predict.crypto-updown` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/predict.crypto-updown.md - `predict.wallet` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/predict.wallet.md - `watchers.fear-greed` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.fear-greed.md - `watchers.fx-rate` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/watchers.fx-rate.md - `agent.knowledge-delta` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/agent.knowledge-delta.md - `agriculture.drought` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/agriculture.drought.md - `agriculture.stats` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/agriculture.stats.md - `ai.chat` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.chat.md - `ai.classify` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.classify.md - `ai.describe-image` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.describe-image.md - `ai.entities` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.entities.md - `ai.extract` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp/ai.extract.md - …and 541 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-2s-io-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
