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

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

## Why get_ip_details is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and returns informational data about IP addresses and their associated metadata. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, does not execute code or commands, and does not involve financial transactions. The information returned (ASN details, country, population estimates) is typically public network registry data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs a query operation: 'Get IP address information' - retrieves data about IP addresses, ASN details, country, and population estimates with no modification or execution of external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_ip_details to retrieve information from Cloudflare 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 Cloudflare:

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