## Facts

- Tool: `get_instance_info`
- Server: Kestra Python MCP Server (`kestra-io/mcp-server-python`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/kestra-io-mcp-server-python.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/kestra-io/mcp-server-python
- 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": "get_instance_info",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_instance_info is rated Low

This is a straightforward read-only operation that queries instance information without side effects. While instance configuration details may be sensitive for threat modeling purposes, the tool itself performs no destructive, modifying, or executable operations. Severity is low because metadata retrieval is a passive information-gathering action with limited blast radius for unintended AI misuse.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves instance metadata including configuration and license info. The verb 'get' and description 'Get instance metadata' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call get_instance_info to retrieve information from Kestra Python MCP Server 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 Kestra Python MCP Server:

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

## 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`
