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

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

## Why analyze_git_changes is rated Low

This tool retrieves and examines Git state information (changed files, untracked files) within the current workspace. It performs no write, delete, or execute operations—just data inspection. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an AI agent could at worst read what files have changed, which is non-sensitive in most secure development contexts.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate it 'Analyze[s]' Git changes and untracked files—a query/inspection operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code. The verb 'analyze' and the focus on reading workspace state confirm retrieval-only semantics."

## Use case

AI agents call analyze_git_changes to retrieve information from Project Guardian MCP 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 Project Guardian MCP:

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