## Facts

- Tool: `doc`
- Server: Search (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-pare-search.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Dave-London/Pare
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why doc is rated High

Generating documentation involves executing an external build/documentation tool (likely cargo doc), which runs code and external processes. While it doesn't delete data or move money, it is not a simple read — it actively triggers execution of toolchain commands and produces output artifacts. Severity is medium as misuse could consume resources or expose documentation of sensitive code, but blast radius is limited.

From the tool's own definition: "Generates Rust documentation — this runs a documentation generation process (e.g., cargo doc) which executes external tooling and produces side effects"

## Use case

AI agents invoke doc to trigger actions in Search. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Search:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "doc": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "doc_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## 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`
