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

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

## Why get_incident is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries incident data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that fetches incident information. The low severity reflects that unauthorized access to incident details, while potentially informative about system status, does not enable direct harm through the tool itself.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_incident' and description states 'Get a single incident by ID. Returns the full incident details' - this is a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_incident to retrieve information from Grafana 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 Grafana MCP Server:

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