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

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

## Why compose-logs is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries log data from Docker Compose services. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The primary function is data retrieval, which is the definition of a Read category tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'compose-logs' and description 'Retrieves Docker Compose service logs' indicate a read-only operation that fetches existing log data without modification, deletion, or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call compose-logs to retrieve information from Cargo 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 Cargo:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "compose-logs": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
