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

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

```

## Why list_vulnerabilities is rated Low

The tool's name and position in a scanning/reporting suite strongly indicate it retrieves vulnerability data without modifying systems. However, confidence is moderately reduced because the description is empty.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_vulnerabilities' with no description provided. Based on naming convention alongside sibling tools like 'get_vulnerability', 'get_vuln_stats', and 'get_scan_status', this appears to be a data retrieval operation that queries and returns…"

## Use case

AI agents call list_vulnerabilities to retrieve information from Hospital Vuln Scanner 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 Hospital Vuln Scanner:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
