# central_get

A read tool on the API-Central MCP server.

Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `central_get`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp/central-get

## Facts

- Tool: `central_get`
- Server: API-Central (`secure-ssid/centralmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/secure-ssid-centralmcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/secure-ssid/centralmcp
- 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": "central_get",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why central_get is rated Low

The 'get' suffix strongly indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects. However, confidence is moderate (0.65) due to empty description—'get' could theoretically wrap any operation. Given the server's purpose (network operations monitoring and configuration) and naming conventions among siblings, Read is the most likely classification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'central_get' follows standard REST API naming convention where 'get' typically indicates data retrieval operations."

## Use case

AI agents call central_get to retrieve information from API-Central 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 API-Central:

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

## 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`
