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

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

## Why pois is rated Low

The tool appears to return an array of POI (Point of Interest) information from Baidu Maps, which is a read/query operation with no side effects. The description is minimal, but in the context of a mapping API, POI data retrieval is a standard read operation. Confidence is moderate due to the sparse description.

From the tool's own definition: "'Array of POI information' — retrieves/returns POI (Point of Interest) data"

## Use case

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