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

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

## Why harvestpulse is rated Low

HarvestPulse is a read-only intelligence service that queries and synthesizes agricultural data. Users pay per query ($0.05–$0.10 per endpoint) via x402 USDC, but payment is for data retrieval only, not for write, execute, or destructive operations. Even if an agent misuses the tool by querying excessively, the worst outcome is financial (wasted tokens), not data loss, code execution, or system compromise.

From the tool's own definition: "All endpoints are query-only: 'find', 'season', 'labels', 'organic', 'dirty-dozen', 'food-hub', 'regenerative', 'designations' retrieve agricultural data, farm locations, produce calendars, and certification information with no mention of data modification,…"

Risk signals: High parameter count (24 properties)

## Use case

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