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

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

## Why formatted_address is rated Low

Based on the tool name and context (Baidu Map API server with sibling tools like 'address', 'adcode', 'city'), this tool likely retrieves or formats an address string — a read-only operation with minimal blast radius. Confidence is lowered due to the completely uninformative description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'formatted_address' suggests retrieval of a formatted address string; description is uninformative ('string')."

## Use case

AI agents call formatted_address to retrieve information from Baidu Map 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 Baidu Map:

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