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

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

## Why getGasPrice is rated Low

getGasPrice retrieves gas price information from Ethereum networks with no side effects or state changes. While the description is empty (reducing confidence slightly), the name clearly indicates a read operation to fetch current gas prices, which is necessary context for executing transactions but does not itself perform any destructive, financial, or state-modifying action.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getGasPrice' indicates retrieval of gas price data from the blockchain. The description is empty, but the name and context of sibling tools (which include approval, contract call, and balance-checking functions) suggest this is a query operation…"

## Use case

AI agents call getGasPrice to retrieve information from MCP Ethers Wallet 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 MCP Ethers Wallet:

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