- Homepage: https://github.com/spranab/truenas-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "group_get",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why group_get is rated Low

This tool retrieves group metadata by ID, performing a read-only query with no side effects, data modification, or system state changes. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose group information that an authorized user could typically view anyway in a system management context.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'group_get' and description 'Get details of a specific group by its numeric ID' indicate retrieval of group information without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call group_get to retrieve information from Truenas 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 Truenas:

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