- Homepage: https://github.com/spranab/truenas-mcp
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified

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

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

## Why network_config is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries network configuration information without any side effects or state changes. It is a read-only operation that returns existing system configuration data. The low severity reflects minimal risk from exposure—understanding the network configuration could inform further attacks but does not directly enable them or cause damage. No confirmation mechanism is needed for a read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'network_config' combined with description 'Get the global network configuration' indicates retrieval of configuration data."

## Use case

AI agents call network_config 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": {
    "network_config": {}
  }
}
```
