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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_gas_prices",

## Why get_gas_prices is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves real-time gas price and fee estimate data without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is purely informational (Read category). The $0.003 cost is a micropayment for the API call, not a financial transaction initiated by the tool itself. Severity is low because misuse would only return incorrect pricing data, causing no irreversible harm or financial loss to users.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Get real-time gas prices' with no mention of modifications, deletions, or financial transactions. It retrieves current Ethereum and Bitcoin fee data."

## Use case

AI agents call get_gas_prices to retrieve information from Crypto Intelligence 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 Crypto Intelligence:

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