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

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

## Why list_etw_providers is rated Low

This tool retrieves system configuration data about available ETW providers. It has no side effects, does not modify state, does not execute code, and does not access sensitive user data beyond what the system already exposes. The operation is purely informational enumeration. Confidence is high because the description clearly indicates a query/parse action with no destructive or executable components.

From the tool's own definition: "'Parse logman query providers' — the tool queries and lists ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) providers. 'logman query providers' is a read-only operation that enumerates available providers without modifying or executing anything."

## Use case

AI agents call list_etw_providers to retrieve information from Procmon 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 Procmon:

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