## Facts

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

## Why inspect is rated Low

The tool retrieves and displays information about containers or images without performing any side effects, modifications, deletions, or code execution. It is purely informational, matching the 'Read' category which covers data retrieval operations like 'get' and 'fetch'.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'inspect' and description 'Shows detailed container or image information with structured state, image, and platform data' indicates read-only querying of container/image metadata with no modification or execution capability."

## Use case

AI agents call inspect to retrieve information from Lint 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 Lint:

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

## 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`
