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

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

## Why list_channels is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only operation that queries and returns channel data. There are no side effects, no modifications to data, and no external operations triggered. The severity is low because channel metadata is informational and listing it poses minimal risk even if accessed by an unauthorized agent.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'list_channels' retrieves information about channels without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The description states it 'List your channels' - a clear query/retrieval operation."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call list_channels to retrieve information from Framesail 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 Framesail:

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