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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "weather_nws",
    "arguments": {
      "lat": 0,
      "lon": 0
    }
  }
}
```

## Why weather_nws is rated Low

Even though weather_nws only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

## Use case

AI agents call weather_nws to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API 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 ScorpTech x402 API:

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