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

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

## Why get_trending_pools is rated Low

The tool retrieves trending pool information from crypto APIs (DefiLlama Pro, CoinGecko Pro, Arkham Intelligence). This is a read-only query operation with no side effects—it fetches and returns existing data. The empty description is compensated by strong contextual evidence from the server's stated purpose and sibling tool patterns, all of which are data retrieval operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_trending_pools' combined with server context showing data retrieval tools (get_active_users, get_balances_address, get_batch_historical_prices, get_bridge_details, etc.) and FastMCP implementation for 'crypto data retrieval'."

## Use case

AI agents call get_trending_pools to retrieve information from REI Crypto 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 REI Crypto MCP Server:

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