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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "theprotocol_oauthIntrospect",
    "arguments": {
      "token": "<token>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why theprotocol_oauthIntrospect is rated Low

Token introspection is a non-destructive query operation that examines token validity and claims. However, it receives 'medium' severity because an AI agent with introspection access could extract sensitive token metadata, scope information, or user claims to inform subsequent unauthorized actions—though the tool itself makes no modifications.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs OAuth 2.0 token introspection per RFC 7662, which queries and validates token metadata without modifying state. The name and description indicate a read-only information retrieval operation."

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (token)

## Use case

AI agents call theprotocol_oauthIntrospect to retrieve information from TheProtocol — Sovereign AI Agent Platform 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 TheProtocol — Sovereign AI Agent Platform:

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