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

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why license_status is rated Low

This tool queries and returns licensing metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational—a status check. The severest imaginable misuse would be an agent reading this information to decide whether to proceed with other actions, but the tool itself has no blast radius. Classification as Read with low severity is appropriate.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'license_status' and description 'Report the current licensing state' indicate data retrieval only. Verbs used are 'Report' (passive observation) with no mention of modification, deletion, or side effects."

## Use case

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