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

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

## Why list_tracks is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata about existing tracks without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It provides read-only access to view tracks in the codebase context system. The operation is non-destructive and produces no side effects, fitting the Read category. Severity is low because viewing track metadata poses minimal risk even if an AI agent misuses it.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_tracks' and description states 'List all live conductor tracks' and 'Use to understand current work in progress' — purely a listing/querying operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_tracks to retrieve information from Mcp Dev 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 Mcp Dev:

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