Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `crowdsec_status`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/kh0pper-crow/crowdsec-status

## Facts

- Tool: `crowdsec_status`
- Server: Crow (`kh0pper/crow`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/kh0pper-crow.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/kh0pper/crow
- 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": "crowdsec_status",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why crowdsec_status is rated Low

The tool retrieves and reports on system status metrics (API reachability, decision counts, alert counts) without modifying any data, executing code, or triggering external operations. This is purely informational and falls clearly into the Read category. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose operational metrics rather than cause damage or access sensitive user data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool provides status information: 'LAPI reachability, active decisions (bans in force), and alert counts'. These are read-only queries of monitoring/security state data with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call crowdsec_status to retrieve information from Crow 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 Crow:

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