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

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

## Why unity_physics_raycast is rated Low

A physics raycast is a read-only query operation that tests for intersections in the physics world and returns hit data. It has no side effects, does not modify any state, and is purely informational.

From the tool's own definition: "Cast a ray in the physics world and return hit information"

## Use case

AI agents call unity_physics_raycast to retrieve information from Unity 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 Unity MCP Server:

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