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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "roads",

## Why roads is rated Low

This tool fetches an array of nearby roads from the Baidu Map API. It is a read-only data retrieval operation returning geographical road information. No data is created, modified, or deleted. Blast radius is minimal as misuse would only result in unnecessary API calls or exposure of location data.

From the tool's own definition: "'Array of nearby roads' - retrieves/queries nearby road data, purely informational with no side effects"

## Use case

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