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

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

## Why get_news is rated Low

This is a pure data retrieval tool that queries a news aggregation service and returns read-only information. It has no side effects—it does not modify data, execute code, delete records, or commit financial obligations. The low severity reflects that misuse (e.g., retrieving news repeatedly) poses minimal risk to data integrity or operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool 'get_news' retrieves and returns curated data center industry news with title, summary, source, published_at, and entities mentioned."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call get_news to retrieve information from 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 Mcp Server:

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