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

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

## Why search_places is rated Low

This tool performs geographic lookups and coordinate retrieval, which are fundamentally read operations. There is no creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact beyond the stated pay-per-call cost model. The use case ('For maps, logistics') confirms informational use. The cost is a standard API fee, not a financial transaction initiated by the tool itself.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Place/address geocoding (OpenStreetMap)' and lists outputs as 'full address, category, lat/lng for any landmark/location'. These are read-only queries that retrieve location data without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call search_places to retrieve information from Omnicall — Agent Tools Gateway 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 Omnicall — Agent Tools Gateway:

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