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

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

## Why redis-info is rated Low

This tool queries Redis server metadata and statistics, returning structured information about the server's state. It performs read-only operations that do not modify data, execute arbitrary code, or cause destructive effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could gather information about Redis state but cannot alter it or access sensitive data beyond what the Redis INFO command exposes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'redis-info' and description 'Gets Redis server info with structured sections' indicate retrieval of server information with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call redis-info to retrieve information from Docker 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 Docker:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "redis-info": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
