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

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

## Why biopulse is rated Low

BioPulse is a biodiversity data synthesis and retrieval API that aggregates information from GBIF, IUCN, eBird, and iNaturalist. All documented endpoints are informational queries that retrieve existing data without modification, deletion, or execution of code. The tool poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent, as it can only surface publicly available biodiversity intelligence.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Species profiles, IUCN conservation status, sighting reports, birding hotspots, migration tracking, endangered s[pecies]' and all endpoints (species, sightings, birding, invasive, endangered, hotspot, identify, migrate) perform data…"

Risk signals: High parameter count (11 properties)

## Use case

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