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

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

## Why cost_estimate is rated Low

This tool purely estimates and reports resource consumption metrics (tokens, execution time) for informational purposes. It performs no mutations, executions, or side effects. The most severe action possible is returning inaccurate estimates, which cannot harm data or systems. This is clearly a Read operation—querying cost information without side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'cost_estimate' and description '预估任务执行成本（Token 用量、预计耗时）' (estimate task execution cost - token usage, estimated time) indicate this retrieves or queries cost metrics without modifying any state or triggering external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call cost_estimate to retrieve information from Claude Team 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 Claude Team MCP:

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