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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "delimit_diff",
    "arguments": {}

## Why delimit_diff is rated Low

Given the name pattern and context of a workspace management system, this most likely retrieves or displays differences without modifying data. However, confidence is moderate due to the empty description. Without evidence it performs write, delete, execute, or financial operations, Read is the most conservative classification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delimit_diff' suggests displaying differences between versions or states. No description provided to confirm function. Naming convention suggests a read-only query operation typical of version control diff tools."

## Use case

AI agents call delimit_diff to retrieve information from Delimit 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 Delimit:

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