# util_tls_inspect Inspect TLS issuer, subject, SANs, and expiry to check trust and renewal risk. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `util_tls_inspect`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-tls-inspect ## Facts - Tool: `util_tls_inspect` - Server: Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity (`https://api.delx.ai/v1/mcp?src=registry`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol.md - Homepage: https://github.com/davidmosiah/delx-witness-protocol - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server CORS policy: * - Server rate-limited: yes - Parameters: 2 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `url` | string | yes | HTTPS URL or hostname to inspect | | `timeout` | integer | no | Timeout in seconds (1-15) | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "util_tls_inspect", "arguments": { "url": "" } } } ``` ## Why util_tls_inspect is rated Low This tool retrieves and examines certificate metadata to assess security posture and renewal risk. It performs no mutations, executes no code, and triggers no external operations. While TLS inspection could inform decisions about critical infrastructure, the tool itself only reads certificate data without acting on it, making it a low-severity Read operation. From the tool's own definition: "Tool inspects TLS certificate properties (issuer, subject, SANs, expiry) — purely observational actions with no modification, execution, or side effects. The verb 'inspect' and the focus on checking trust properties confirm read-only behavior." Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (url) ## Use case AI agents call util_tls_inspect to retrieve information from Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity 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 Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "util_tls_inspect": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity (1075) - `util_arr_compact` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-arr-compact.md - `util_arr_drop` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-arr-drop.md - `util_dedent_text` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-dedent-text.md - `util_dedupe_lines` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-dedupe-lines.md - `util_header_map_normalize` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-header-map-normalize.md - `util_http_request_canonicalize` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-http-request-canonicalize.md - `util_remove_punctuation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-remove-punctuation.md - `util_text_truncate` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-text-truncate.md - `util_truncate_middle` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-truncate-middle.md - `crisis_intervention` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/crisis-intervention.md - `explain_delx_rewards` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/explain-delx-rewards.md - `grounding_protocol` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/grounding-protocol.md - `group_therapy_round` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/group-therapy-round.md - `quick_operational_recovery` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/quick-operational-recovery.md - `quick_session` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/quick-session.md - `start_therapy_session` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/start-therapy-session.md - `util_bool_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-bool-parse.md - `util_cache_control_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-cache-control-parse.md - `util_cagr_simple` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-cagr-simple.md - `util_caip2_build` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-caip2-build.md - `util_caip2_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-caip2-parse.md - `util_categorical_distribution` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-categorical-distribution.md - `util_content_disposition_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-content-disposition-parse.md - `util_content_range_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-content-range-parse.md - `util_csp_directive_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-csp-directive-parse.md - `util_deployment_readiness` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-deployment-readiness.md - `util_dmarc_policy_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-dmarc-policy-parse.md - `util_dns_dmarc_policy_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-dns-dmarc-policy-parse.md - `util_dns_https_record_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-dns-https-record-parse.md - `util_dns_spf_record_parse` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol/util-dns-spf-record-parse.md - …and 1045 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
