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

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

## Why waterpulse is rated Low

Tool queries environmental and hydrological data with no mutation, deletion, or financial transaction capability beyond per-query billing.

From the tool's own definition: "retrieves groundwater levels, streamflow, drought status, water quality, aquifer sustainability, flood risk data"

Risk signals: High parameter count (11 properties)

## Use case

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