## Facts

- Tool: `install`
- Server: Test (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-pare-test.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": "install",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why install is rated High

The tool is named 'install' and the description begins with 'Runs', strongly suggesting it executes an installation process (e.g., npm install, pip install). Installing packages executes external commands and modifies system state, which classifies as Execute. The blast radius is high because arbitrary package installation can introduce malicious code or alter system dependencies.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'install' on a server that 'Runs' (description truncated) in a context with package management tools like 'add-package', 'ansible-galaxy', 'bazel'"

## Use case

AI agents invoke install to trigger actions in Test. 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 Test:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "install": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "install_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`
