## Why dns_cache_detailed is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves existing DNS cache state without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is purely informational with no side effects or ability to alter system state. Low severity because DNS cache inspection poses minimal security risk—an AI reading cached DNS entries cannot directly harm the system.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'dns_cache_detailed' and description 'Get detailed DNS cache information with parsed entries' indicate data retrieval only. The verb 'Get' and lack of modification language (no create/update/delete/execute) confirm read-only behavior."

## Use case

AI agents call dns_cache_detailed to retrieve information from Mcp Windows 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 Mcp Windows:

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