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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "visualize-code-structure",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why visualize-code-structure is rated Low

Visualization and code structure analysis are intrinsically read operations that retrieve and present code information without side effects. The tool description is empty, lowering confidence slightly, but the name and server context strongly indicate passive analysis. No data creation, modification, deletion, execution, or financial impact is evident.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'visualize-code-structure' indicates reading and displaying code structure information. Contextual evidence from sibling tools (analyze-dependencies, analyze-metrics, analyze-quality, analyze-repository) all perform static analysis without…"

## Use case

AI agents call visualize-code-structure 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": {
    "visualize-code-structure": {}
  }
}
```
