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

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

## Why check_reputation is rated Low

Despite the empty description, the tool name and context indicate this checks/retrieves reputation data rather than modifying it. No side effects, irreversible actions, code execution, or financial operations are implied. This is a lookup/query operation with minimal blast radius if misused—at worst, an agent might make decisions based on inaccurate reputation data, but cannot modify system state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'check_reputation' paired with sibling tools 'check_avp_reputation', 'check_trust', and 'get_attestations_received' which are clearly query/retrieval operations."

## Use case

AI agents call check_reputation to retrieve information from AgentVeil Protocol 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 AgentVeil Protocol:

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