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

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

## Why util_regex_test is rated Low

This tool performs pattern matching and analysis on provided text input, returning analytical results (matches, groups, count). It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or trigger external operations. The mention of 'x402 utility pricing' is a billing/pricing mechanism, not a financial operation on user assets or accounts.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Test a regex pattern against text. Returns matches, groups, and count.' - a read-only operation that queries/analyzes text data without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call util_regex_test to retrieve information from Delx 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 Delx MCP Server:

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