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

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

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

}
```

## Why get_status is rated Low

Despite the empty description lowering confidence slightly, the naming convention and peer tools strongly indicate this is a status query operation with no side effects. Read operations on a financial platform carry low severity when they only retrieve data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_status' with empty description. The verb 'get' indicates retrieval without modification. Context from sibling tools (all read-only queries like 'get_balance', 'get_candles', 'get_orderbook') suggests this also retrieves state."

## Use case

AI agents call get_status to retrieve information from Lighter 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 Lighter MCP:

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