Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `info`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-npm/info

## Facts

- Tool: `info`
- Server: Npm (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-npm.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

Given the npm server context focused on 'Structured npm/pnpm operations' and the presence of read-only sibling tools (audit, list, outdated), 'info' most likely retrieves package metadata or project information without modifying state. The truncated description ('Runs') prevents higher confidence, but no evidence suggests side effects or destructive capability.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool named 'info' on npm MCP server described as 'Runs' (incomplete description). Context: sibling tools include 'audit', 'list', 'outdated' which are query operations. The incomplete description limits confidence."

## Use case

AI agents call info to retrieve information from Npm 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 Npm:

```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`
