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

## Why get_total_tvl is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries financial metrics (Total Value Locked) from a database. It performs no side effects, creates no transactions, executes no code, and cannot modify or delete data. Despite the financial context of the platform (tokenized yield vaults), the tool itself only reads aggregate vault statistics, making it a Read category risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_total_tvl' and description 'Get the total TVL... from the Aarna engine database' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves vault metrics without modifying data or triggering transactions."

## Use case

AI agents call get_total_tvl to retrieve information from Atv 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 Atv:

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