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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "introspect",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why introspect is rated Low

Introspection typically retrieves metadata about runtime state, APIs, or configurations without modifying data. However, the empty description creates uncertainty about what exactly is being inspected and whether it exposes sensitive internal details.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'introspect' suggests it queries or inspects system/server state. No description provided to confirm scope."

## Use case

AI agents call introspect to retrieve information from Agent Jail 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 Agent Jail:

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