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

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why get_business_snapshot is rated Low

This tool retrieves and aggregates financial summary data for display purposes. It performs no write operations, does not execute code or commands, does not delete data, and does not move money. The sibling tools (all prefixed with 'get_') confirm the server's pattern of read-only data access. The blast radius of misuse is low—an attacker gains visibility into business financials but cannot alter them directly.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool is described as providing a 'snapshot' and 'answers' queries about business metrics (money in/out, net, invoices, bills, tax)."

## Use case

AI agents call get_business_snapshot to retrieve information from Savi Tools 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 Savi Tools:

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