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

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

## Why List_Automation is rated Low

This tool performs a query/list operation to retrieve automation records from the Files.com environment. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute external operations. It falls squarely into the Read category with low severity since it only exposes information about existing automations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'List_Automation' and description 'List Automations' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves or queries data about automations without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call List_Automation to retrieve information from Files Com 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 Files Com:

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