## Why get_security_dashboard is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays dashboard metrics (incident counts, vulnerability counts, MTTR statistics) without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query of security monitoring data. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose visibility into existing security state, not enable unauthorized actions or data modification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_security_dashboard' and description 'Get security posture dashboard — open incidents by severity, vulnerability counts, mean time to resolve' indicate a retrieval/query operation that aggregates and displays existing security metrics and…"

## 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`
