Why service_get is rated Low
This tool retrieves service information (running state and boot settings) without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a pure query operation that has no side effects on the TrueNAS system. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if an agent queries service details, as this provides only informational output.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get details of a specific service by its numeric ID, including its running state and boot-time enable status.' The verb 'Get' and the context of retrieving service metadata indicate a read-only operation with no data modification.

The rule that runs service_get safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nasbridge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For service_get, this is the rule to start with:
service_get is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nasbridge, apply this rule, and every service_get call is checked against it from then on.
