## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `region` | string | yes | Required. The region of the commitments. |
| `project` | string | yes | Required. Project ID for this request. |
| `pageSize` | integer | no | Optional. The maximum number of commitments to return. |
| `pageToken` | string | no | Optional. A page token received from a previous call to list commitments. |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

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

## Why list_commitments is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries infrastructure commitment metadata from a specific region without performing any side effects, modifications, or destructive actions. It is a straightforward read operation that returns information about existing commitments. The blast radius of misuse is limited to information disclosure about committed resources and billing terms, which is low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_commitments' and description states it 'Lists Compute Engine Commitments' and provides 'Details for each commitment'. The verb 'Lists' and 'Details' indicate retrieval/query operations with no modification or deletion of data."

## Use case

AI agents call list_commitments 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": {
    "list_commitments": {}
  }
}
```
