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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {

## Why search_companies is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries company information with filtering options but performs no side effects, data modification, or destructive actions. It is a classic read/search operation limited to data retrieval from a read-only directory. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would result only in unauthorized data access, not operational or financial damage.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Search and filter' operations on company directory data, returning 'up to 25 results per page.' No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned. Server description confirms 'Read-only data.'"

Risk signals: High parameter count (15 properties)

## Use case

AI agents call search_companies to retrieve information from Company Data 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)
