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

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

## Why volume-ls is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only listing operation similar to 'docker volume ls'. It retrieves and returns information about Docker volumes with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification or deletion. This is a standard informational query operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could at worst enumerate volumes, which is non-destructive reconnaissance.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'volume-ls' and description 'Lists Docker volumes with structured driver, mountpoint, and scope information' indicate a query operation that retrieves data about existing Docker volumes without modifying or executing any operations."

## Use case

AI agents call volume-ls 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": {
    "volume-ls": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
