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

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

## Why list_assets is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves metadata about existing assets without any side effects. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with optional filtering parameters. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an attacker could enumerate assets or URLs they might not have permission to access, but cannot modify or delete data, nor trigger financial transactions or code execution.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_assets' and description states it 'List uploaded files' and 'Returns asset metadata and URLs' — purely retrieves data with no modification, deletion, or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call list_assets to retrieve information from Businys 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 Businys:

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