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

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

## Why get_frame is rated Low

The tool retrieves a single frame from an already-processed video without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and read-only in nature. Blast radius is minimal since misuse would only expose or retrieve existing video frame data already known to the system.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Extract a frame from a video at a specific timestamp' — this is a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data. The verb 'extract' indicates reading/fetching existing video frame data."

## Use case

AI agents call get_frame to retrieve information from Mcptube Vision 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 Mcptube Vision:

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