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

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

## Why load_project_config is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation that queries/retrieves project configuration data from a file. There is no modification, deletion, execution, or financial transaction involved. The blast radius is minimal since it only exposes existing configuration content without enabling further actions beyond inspection.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description explicitly states it 'Load[s] project-specific configuration from .vscode-mcp.toml', which is a retrieval operation with no side effects. It reads and returns configuration data."

## Use case

AI agents call load_project_config to retrieve information from Code 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 Code MCP Server:

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