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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

  "params": {
    "name": "list-available-tools",
    "arguments": {}

## Why list-available-tools is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries available tools from the server—a read-only operation with no side effects. The name clearly indicates listing/enumeration functionality typical of discovery endpoints. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the tool name and server context provide sufficient evidence for Read classification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list-available-tools' indicates a retrieval operation that enumerates available tools without modifying state. No description provided, but the naming convention and context of a code analysis server strongly suggest this is an informational query."

## Use case

AI agents call list-available-tools 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": {
    "list-available-tools": {}
  }
}
```
