## Facts

- Tool: `jwt_decode`
- Server: UnClick (`@unclick/mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-malamutemayhem-unclick-mcp-server.md
- Install: `npx -y @unclick/mcp-server`
- Homepage: https://github.com/malamutemayhem/unclick-agent-native-endpoints.git
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 1 (1 required)
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `token` | string | yes | JWT token string. |

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": "jwt_decode",
    "arguments": {
      "token": "<token>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why jwt_decode is rated Low

JWT decoding is a read-only operation that extracts and displays claims from a token without altering data, executing code, or triggering side effects. While decoded claims may contain sensitive information, the tool itself performs no destructive, write, execute, or financial actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'jwt_decode' and description states it 'Decode[s] a JWT token to inspect header and payload claims'."

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (token)

## Use case

AI agents call jwt_decode to retrieve information from UnClick 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 UnClick:

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