## Facts

- Tool: `device_select_by_class`
- 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_select_by_class",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why device_select_by_class is rated Low

Selecting actors in the editor is a read/query operation with no persistent side effects. It changes the editor selection state temporarily but does not modify, create, or delete any data. Misuse has minimal blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "'Select all Verse device actors of a given class name substring' — this is a selection/query operation that identifies actors matching a class name"

## Use case

AI agents call device_select_by_class 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_select_by_class": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
