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

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

## Why get_chain_info is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves information about blockchain network properties (chain ID, RPC endpoints, token details, etc.). It performs no state modifications, does not execute transactions or code, and has no destructive or financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_chain_info' and description 'Get information about an EVM network' indicate retrieval of network metadata with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_chain_info to retrieve information from EVM 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 EVM MCP Server:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
