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

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

## Why analyze_image is rated Low

Image analysis via AI vision models is fundamentally a data retrieval and querying operation. It examines image content and returns analysis results with no side effects, data modification, or destructive actions. While it processes visual information, this is analogous to other Read category tools that extract or query data.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'analyze_image' is described as 'Analyze an image using AI vision models' - this is a read-only operation that processes and queries visual data without modifying anything."

## Use case

AI agents call analyze_image to retrieve information from Percepta MCP Server 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 Percepta MCP Server:

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