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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "list_contact_points",
    "arguments": {}

## Why list_contact_points is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation that queries existing Grafana contact point configuration data. It returns metadata about notification destinations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—inadvertent listing of contact points exposes configuration metadata but does not trigger notifications, modify settings, or cause harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool 'list_contact_points' retrieves and returns contact point information (UID, name, type) with no modification or side effects. The verb 'list' and description 'Lists...returning a summary' clearly indicate a query operation."

## Use case

AI agents call list_contact_points 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": {
    "list_contact_points": {}
  }
}
```
