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

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

## Why list_application_sources is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves application source information with pagination support. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only access information it may not have authorization for, but cannot alter state or trigger external operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_application_sources' contains 'list', a read operation. Description states 'List application sources with pagination', explicitly indicating data retrieval with no modifications or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_application_sources to retrieve information from Alibabacloud Devops 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 Alibabacloud Devops:

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