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

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

## Why read_memory is rated Low

This tool retrieves memory contents from a process without altering state. While Frida's capabilities are powerful and could be abused in adversarial contexts, this specific tool is read-only with no side effects. The low severity reflects that memory reading alone cannot directly compromise systems, though it may reveal sensitive information in targeted attacks.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'read_memory' and description 'Read memory at specified address' explicitly indicate data retrieval with no modification."

## Use case

AI agents call read_memory to retrieve information from Frida Game Hacking 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 Frida Game Hacking MCP:

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