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

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

## Why gcp_rm_list_folders is rated Low

The tool retrieves folder metadata from GCP's resource hierarchy without creating, modifying, or deleting any resources. It is a straightforward enumeration operation analogous to 'ls' or 'list'. Severity is low because the blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure of folder names and hierarchy, which typically contain no sensitive data themselves (though they may reveal organizational structure).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List folders under a parent' — this is a read-only query operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call gcp_rm_list_folders to retrieve information from GCP 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 GCP MCP Server:

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