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

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

## Why poiRegions is rated Low

The tool appears to fetch/query POI (Point of Interest) region data from the Baidu Map API, which is a read-only retrieval operation with no side effects. Confidence is moderate because the description is minimal and uninformative beyond indicating it returns an array of POI regions.

From the tool's own definition: "'Array of POI regions' — retrieves/lists Points of Interest region data from Baidu Map API"

## Use case

AI agents call poiRegions 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": {
    "poiRegions": {}
  }
}
```
