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

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

## Why usage_stats is rated Low

This tool queries historical usage data and provides aggregate statistics without side effects. It is a monitoring/observability feature that retrieves pre-computed or logged information. The low severity reflects that misuse yields only information exposure about the server's past behavior, with no impact on market data, finances, or external systems.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool returns summary statistics about server usage ('top tools called, success rate, recent activity'). Verbs indicate data retrieval only: 'Return summary stats'. No modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations described."

## Use case

AI agents call usage_stats to retrieve information from Predict — Prediction Market Data for AI Agents 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 Predict — Prediction Market Data for AI Agents:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
