## Facts

- Tool: `credentials_get`
- Server: Aibtc (`aibtcdev/aibtc-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-aibtcdev-mcp-server.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/aibtcdev/aibtc-mcp-server
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity verified
- 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": "credentials_get",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why credentials_get is rated Low

Although this tool reads sensitive data (credentials), it performs no write, execute, or destructive operations. The warning about sensitive return values increases the severity from low to high due to the confidential nature of credentials and potential for misuse in context of an AI agent, but the fundamental operation is a read.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'credentials_get' with description stating 'Retrieve a stored credential value by service and key."

## Use case

AI agents call credentials_get to retrieve information from Aibtc 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 Aibtc:

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