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

```json

## Why cdp_lookup_values is rated Low

This tool performs a data retrieval operation (lookup) on existing data within a data warehouse entity resource. It queries for distinct field values without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an agent could exhaust query resources or access sensitive field data, but cannot modify data or trigger external actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'cdp_lookup_values' and description 'Lookup distinct values for a field in a DW entity resource' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call cdp_lookup_values to retrieve information from CDP 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 CDP MCP Server:

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