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

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

## Why web_scrape is rated Low

Web scraping typically retrieves/reads data from web pages with no direct side effects on the user's own systems, placing it in the Read category. However, it could trigger external HTTP requests and potentially interact with third-party services. The empty description lowers confidence.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'web_scrape'; description is empty and uninformative."

## Use case

AI agents call web_scrape to retrieve information from Container-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 Container-MCP:

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