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

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

## Why calculate-metrics is rated Low

Metrics calculation is a read-only analytical operation that queries or processes code without modifying data or executing external operations. The tool retrieves measurements and produces analysis artifacts. Given the empty description and reliance on the tool name and server context, confidence is slightly reduced from 0.9 to 0.85, but the pattern is clear from sibling tools and the 'analysis' focus of the server.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'calculate-metrics' and server context indicates analysis/measurement operations. Server description emphasizes 'code analysis' and 'metrics' is explicitly listed as a sibling tool (analyze-metrics)."

## Use case

AI agents call calculate-metrics to retrieve information from CodeAnalysis MCP Server 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 CodeAnalysis MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "calculate-metrics": {}
  }
}
```
