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

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

## Why delimit_policy is rated Low

Without a description, classification relies on the tool name and context. 'Policy' typically implies retrieval or querying of governance rules rather than modification or execution. Given the Delimit server's focus on 'governance' and the pattern of sibling tools (status, check, dashboard), this appears to be an informational/read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delimit_policy' suggests reading or retrieving policy information. The description is empty, making confident classification difficult."

## Use case

AI agents call delimit_policy 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_policy": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
