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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

## Why list_dynamic_options is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only retrieval of dynamic options metadata (id, name, status). It has no capability to modify, delete, execute operations, or affect financial state. The limited return fields and passive query nature confirm it is a safe Read category tool with low blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_dynamic_options' and description 'List dynamic options. Returns only id, name, and status.' indicates a query operation that retrieves data without side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_dynamic_options to retrieve information from ComplianceCow MCP Server 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 ComplianceCow MCP Server:

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