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

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

## Why get_metrics is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and queries aggregated project metrics and statistics. It has no write, destructive, or side-effect capabilities. The explicit 'read-only' designation and passive data retrieval nature (counts, dates, logs) clearly place it in the Read category with low severity since an AI agent misusing it would only access existing metrics data without damaging or modifying anything.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_metrics' and description explicitly states 'Read-only snapshot' that retrieves feature/bug counts, completion metrics, velocity data, and work log statistics without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call get_metrics to retrieve information from FeatureBoard 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 FeatureBoard:

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