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

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

## Why search_docs is rated Low

Based on the name alone, 'search_docs' appears to perform a read-only operation—searching and retrieving documentation without modifying data. The empty description reduces confidence, but the semantic meaning of 'search' strongly suggests retrieval rather than creation, modification, or deletion. Given the server's Supabase management context, this likely queries internal documentation or database schema docs.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_docs' indicates document searching/retrieval functionality; description is empty, limiting certainty."

## Use case

AI agents call search_docs to retrieve information from Supabase MCP Server - Self-Hosted Edition 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 Supabase MCP Server - Self-Hosted Edition:

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