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

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

## Why org_search is rated Low

The tool searches data without modifying it, placing it in the Read category. Severity is medium rather than low because search across organizational/agent context could expose sensitive information or allow enumeration of private data if the agent is compromised. However, no direct side effects or data modification occur.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'org_search' and server context indicate querying/searching organizational or contextual data within a persistent memory system. Related sibling tools include 'cross_repo_search' and 'episodic_search', which are clearly Read operations."

## Use case

AI agents call org_search to retrieve information from CogniRepo 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 CogniRepo:

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