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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "adw.catalog",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

## Why adw.catalog is rated Low

The tool retrieves and lists metadata about available indices without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read-only operation used for discovery purposes. Severity is low because listing available resources poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'catalog' and description states 'List ALL available AlpineDataWorks intelligence indices' — this is a discovery/query operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call adw.catalog to retrieve information from AlpineDataWorks Intelligence 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 AlpineDataWorks Intelligence Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adw.catalog": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
