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

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

## Why search_projects is rated Low

This tool only searches and retrieves project information without any side effects. It fits the Read category definition: retrieves or queries data with no side effects. The severity is low because misuse would only expose project metadata, and the blast radius is minimal even if an AI agent queries for unauthorized projects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Search for projects' which is a query operation. The purpose is to 'find project IDs' - retrieving data for reference, not modifying or executing anything."

## Use case

AI agents call search_projects to retrieve information from Tripletex 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 Tripletex MCP Server:

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