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

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

## Why gql_user is rated Low

This tool performs a simple lookup query to fetch a user record by ID. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute commands, or affect financial systems. It is a straightforward read operation, with minimal blast radius even if misused by an AI agent (at worst, it could retrieve unauthorized user data, but cannot alter or delete records).

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'Returns a User by their global ID (gid)' and the descriptor 'GraphQL' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and retrieves user data without modifying it."

## Use case

AI agents call gql_user to retrieve information from Thinkific MCP Server 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 Thinkific MCP Server:

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