## Facts

- Tool: `state-list`
- 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": "state-list",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why state-list is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation that queries Terraform state to enumerate resources. It has no side effects—it neither creates, modifies, deletes, nor executes operations. The returned resource addresses are informational only. Misuse by an AI agent would be limited to information disclosure, posing minimal risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'state-list' and description 'Lists all resources tracked in the Terraform state. Returns resource addresses.' indicate a query-only operation that retrieves and displays state information without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call state-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": {
    "state-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`
