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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "screenshot",
    "arguments": {
      "url": "<url>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why screenshot is rated Low

The tool reads/renders a public webpage and returns an image. It does not modify any data, execute arbitrary code, or have financial implications. Misuse potential is low since it only captures what is publicly visible.

From the tool's own definition: "'Capture a screenshot of a website' — retrieves a visual snapshot of a webpage with no side effects"

Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (url) · High parameter count (23 properties)

## Use case

AI agents call screenshot to retrieve information from Mcp 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 Mcp:

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