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

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

## Why images is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation that enumerates Docker images and their metadata (repository, tag, size, creation info). It has no side effects, does not execute code or containers, and does not modify any resources. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only discover information about available Docker images on the system.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'images' and description 'Lists Docker images' indicates a query operation that retrieves and presents existing data without modification or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call images to retrieve information from Go 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 Go:

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

## 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`
