- Server: Build (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-build.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Dave-London/pare
- 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": "state-list",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why state-list is rated Low

This tool queries existing Terraform state data to retrieve information about tracked resources. It performs no modifications, deletions, or side effects—it only reads and returns resource addresses. This is a straightforward Read category operation with low severity since misuse would only expose metadata about infrastructure resources, not create, modify, or destroy them.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'state-list' and description explicitly states it 'Lists all resources tracked in the Terraform state."

## Use case

AI agents call state-list to retrieve information from Build 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 Build:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "state-list": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
