- Server: Mcpg (`pypi:mcpg`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-devopam-mcpg.md
- Install: `npx -y pypi:mcpg`

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

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

## Why recommend_efficiency_thresholds is rated Low

The tool name indicates it provides recommendations about efficiency thresholds rather than executing changes, creating data, or deleting anything. In context with sibling PostgreSQL analysis tools (analyze_query_plan, analyze_lock_hotspots, etc.), this appears to be an informational/advisory tool that retrieves or derives insights.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'recommend_efficiency_thresholds' suggests analysis and recommendation generation without modification. Sibling tools include multiple 'analyze_*' tools that are clearly Read operations, and this follows the same naming/analytical pattern."

## Use case

AI agents call recommend_efficiency_thresholds to retrieve information from Mcpg 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 Mcpg:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "recommend_efficiency_thresholds": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
