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

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

## Why list_models is rated Low

Listing available models is a query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The tool simply enumerates models and applies filters, which are hallmarks of a Read category tool. Even if an AI agent misuses this, the blast radius is minimal—it can only discover what models exist, not interact with them destructively or financially.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'list_models' and description states 'List available models with optional filtering' — this is a pure read operation that retrieves information without side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_models to retrieve information from Replicate 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 Replicate MCP Server:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
