## Facts

- Tool: `device_crawl_api`
- Server: Uefn (`quangdang46/uefn-verse-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/quangdang46-uefn-verse-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/quangdang46/uefn-verse-mcp
- 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": "device_crawl_api",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why device_crawl_api is rated Low

This tool queries metadata about actor APIs to enumerate available methods and properties. It is informational only, returning data about the actor's interface without side effects. This fits the Read category (retrieves or queries data; no side effects). The low severity reflects minimal blast radius — misuse would only expose metadata, not corrupt data or trigger unwanted actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Discover available methods and properties on selected actors via API crawl' — a pure discovery/inspection operation that introspects existing actor definitions without modifying state, creating resources, or executing arbitrary code."

## Use case

AI agents call device_crawl_api to retrieve information from Uefn 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 Uefn:

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