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

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

## Why get_audit_trail is rated Low

The tool retrieves audit trail information within a reputation and identity infrastructure system. 'Get' operations are Read category—they query and retrieve data without modifying or executing operations. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the name and sibling tools (check_reputation, get_agent_info, get_attestations_received) strongly suggest this is a data retrieval function.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_audit_trail' indicates retrieval of audit trail data; description is empty but naming convention and context within a trust/reputation system suggest query/fetch operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_audit_trail 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": {
    "get_audit_trail": {}
  }
}
```
