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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "drive_list_files",
    "arguments": {
      "drive": "<drive>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why drive_list_files is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists file metadata from a drive storage system. It performs no write, delete, execute, or financial operations—only data retrieval. The blast radius of misuse is minimal (information disclosure limited to file names and structure visible within a drive the user already has access to).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'drive_list_files' and description 'List files in a drive' indicate retrieval of directory contents without modification. 'Optionally under a path prefix' confirms query-only semantics."

## Use case

AI agents call drive_list_files to retrieve information from Mcp 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 Mcp:

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