Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `maven-test`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-build/maven-test

## Facts

- Tool: `maven-test`
- Server: Build (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-build.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Dave-London/pare
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why maven-test is rated High

Maven test execution runs arbitrary build and test code on the system. While the description is truncated/uninformative ('Runs' with no further detail), the tool name and server context strongly imply executing Maven test suites, which involves running code, compiling, and potentially triggering side effects. High severity because arbitrary test code execution can have broad system impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'maven-test' implies running Maven tests; server description mentions 'generic commands' execution producing typed JSON diagnostics"

## Use case

AI agents invoke maven-test to trigger actions in Build. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Build:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "maven-test": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "maven-test_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
