## Facts

- Tool: `get`
- Server: Go (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-go.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Dave-London/pare
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why get is rated High

This tool fetches remote code and installs it onto the system, which is an external operation with side effects beyond simple data retrieval. Installing packages can introduce arbitrary code into the environment, making it Execute-level with high severity due to potential supply chain risks and system modification.

From the tool's own definition: "Downloads and installs Go packages and their dependencies"

## Use case

AI agents invoke get to trigger actions in Go. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Go:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "get_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## 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`
