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

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why check_signoz is rated Low

This tool queries the reachability and health status of a SigNoz observability service. It is a read-only diagnostic operation that retrieves information without side effects. The low severity reflects that health checks are informational queries with no blast radius—they cannot modify data, execute arbitrary operations, or cause harm even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs a GET request to a health endpoint (/api/v1/health) and returns the status response. No modification, deletion, or execution of code is involved."

## Use case

AI agents call check_signoz to retrieve information from Mcp Nettools 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 Mcp Nettools:

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