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

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

## Why get_high_risk_findings is rated Low

Despite the empty description, the naming convention and server context indicate this retrieves pre-computed security findings from EMBA firmware analysis rather than executing new operations or modifying data. It queries existing results. Severity is 'medium' because the findings could inform an agent's decisions about exploitation or attack paths, creating potential for downstream harm if misused.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_high_risk_findings' and context indicate retrieval of security analysis results. The 'get_' prefix and sibling tools (get_binary_protection_mechanisms, get_bootloader_info, get_kernel_info, etc.) all follow a read-pattern retrieving structured…"

## Use case

AI agents call get_high_risk_findings 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_high_risk_findings": {}
  }
}
```
