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

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

## Why autopulse is rated Low

Tool queries automotive databases and returns informational data with no side effects or modifications.

From the tool's own definition: "Retrieves safety recalls, reliability analysis, repair guides, vehicle comparison, market value estimates."

Risk signals: High parameter count (26 properties)

## Use case

AI agents call autopulse to retrieve information from Pulsenetwork 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 Pulsenetwork:

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