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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_niagara_modules",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why get_niagara_modules is rated Low

Given the naming convention and the VFX context, this tool most likely queries or retrieves Niagara module information. However, confidence is moderated to 0.65 because the description is empty, leaving some ambiguity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_niagara_modules' uses the 'get_' prefix, which conventionally retrieves or queries data without modification. The Niagara system in Unreal Engine manages visual effects, and 'modules' refers to VFX components."

## Use case

AI agents call get_niagara_modules to retrieve information from Unreal-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 Unreal-MCP:

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