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

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

}
```

## Why network_scan_connections is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists network connection metadata (protocols, states, ports, associated processes) without altering system state or data. It is purely informational. Classified as Read because it queries system state with no side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'network_scan_connections' and description 'Get all active network connections (TCP/UDP, states, ports, processes)' indicate a query/retrieval operation that returns system state information without modifying anything."

## Use case

AI agents call network_scan_connections to retrieve information from Aapanel 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 Aapanel:

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