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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_bootloader_info",
    "arguments": {}

## Why get_bootloader_info is rated Low

The 'get_' prefix and server context indicate this tool retrieves bootloader information from firmware analysis results without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. No side effects are expected. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description, but the naming convention and sibling tool patterns provide strong evidence of read-only behavior.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_bootloader_info' follows the 'get_' prefix pattern consistent with other query tools on this server (get_binary_protection_mechanisms, get_credentials_and_secrets, get_kernel_info, etc.)."

## Use case

AI agents call get_bootloader_info to retrieve information from EMBA-MCP 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 EMBA-MCP:

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