# uk-gov-list-organizations List publishing organisations on data.gov.uk with full fields. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `uk-gov-list-organizations`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/uk-gov-list-organizations ## Facts - Tool: `uk-gov-list-organizations` - Server: Meta Data Mcp (`pypi:meta-data-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:meta-data-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/derekslinz/meta-data-mcp - 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": "uk-gov-list-organizations", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why uk-gov-list-organizations is rated Low This tool queries a government open data portal to retrieve a list of metadata about publishing organizations. It performs a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could at worst enumerate organizations on the platform, which is already public data. This falls squarely into the Read category. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list-organizations' and description 'List publishing organisations' indicate a query operation that retrieves and presents existing data without modification or execution." ## Use case AI agents call uk-gov-list-organizations to retrieve information from Meta Data Mcp 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 Meta Data Mcp: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "uk-gov-list-organizations": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Meta Data Mcp (395) - `hackernews-new-stories` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/hackernews-new-stories.md - `opendata_plugins_create` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/opendata-plugins-create.md - `ovapi-stop-departures` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ovapi-stop-departures.md - `overpass-query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/overpass-query.md - `ssllabs-analyze` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ssllabs-analyze.md - `wikidata-sparql` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/wikidata-sparql.md - `arxiv-get-paper` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/arxiv-get-paper.md - `arxiv-query` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/arxiv-query.md - `arxiv-search-by-author` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/arxiv-search-by-author.md - `arxiv-search-by-category` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/arxiv-search-by-category.md - `arxiv-search-by-title` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/arxiv-search-by-title.md - `au-data-gov-get-dataset` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/au-data-gov-get-dataset.md - `au-data-gov-get-organization` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/au-data-gov-get-organization.md - `au-data-gov-list-groups` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/au-data-gov-list-groups.md - `au-data-gov-list-organizations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/au-data-gov-list-organizations.md - `au-data-gov-list-tags` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/au-data-gov-list-tags.md - `au-data-gov-search-datasets` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/au-data-gov-search-datasets.md - `awc-metar` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/awc-metar.md - `awc-station` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/awc-station.md - `awc-taf` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/awc-taf.md - `ca-open-gov-get-dataset` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ca-open-gov-get-dataset.md - `ca-open-gov-get-organization` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ca-open-gov-get-organization.md - `ca-open-gov-list-groups` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ca-open-gov-list-groups.md - `ca-open-gov-list-licenses` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ca-open-gov-list-licenses.md - `ca-open-gov-list-organizations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ca-open-gov-list-organizations.md - `ca-open-gov-list-tags` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ca-open-gov-list-tags.md - `ca-open-gov-search-datasets` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/ca-open-gov-search-datasets.md - `cbs-get-metadata` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/cbs-get-metadata.md - `cbs-get-typed-dataset` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/cbs-get-typed-dataset.md - `cbs-list-tables` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp/cbs-list-tables.md - …and 365 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-derekslinz-meta-data-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
