## Facts

- Tool: `info`
- Server: Git (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-git.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": "info",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why info is rated Low

The 'info' tool likely queries git metadata (status, logs, diffs, branch info) and returns structured JSON. This is a read-only operation with no data modification. Severity is medium rather than low because git operations could expose sensitive information (commit history, branch structure, file diffs) that might be valuable to an attacker, but the tool itself cannot modify or destroy data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'info' and server description emphasizes 'Structured git operations (status, log, diff, branch, show) as typed JSON.' The tool description is incomplete ('Runs' with no further detail), but 'info' in a git context typically retrieves metadata…"

## Use case

AI agents call info to retrieve information from Git 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 Git:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "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`
