- Server: ContextForge MCP Gateway (`jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/jrmatherly-mcp-context-forge.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0

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

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

## Why analyze_workbook is rated Low

This tool retrieves and examines workbook data (content, structure, formulas) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It falls squarely into the Read category with low severity since it cannot change state or trigger external side effects. The sibling tools (add_content, add_edge, add_node, etc.) are all Write operations, further confirming this tool's read-only nature.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'analyze_workbook' and description 'Analyze workbook content, structure, and formulas' indicate inspection and querying of data without modification, deletion, or code execution. The verb 'analyze' performs read-only inspection."

## Use case

AI agents call analyze_workbook to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway:

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

## 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`
