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

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

## Why label-list is rated Low

This tool only queries and returns information about existing repository labels. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only over-retrieve label data. Classification as Read is appropriate.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'label-list' and description 'Lists repository labels' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. Returns structured data (label name, description, color, default status) without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call label-list 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": {
    "label-list": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
