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

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

## Why generate_controller_brief is rated Low

The tool appears to generate a read-only report or summary brief for a controller, compiling existing information (symptoms, actions taken, current status, next decision). There are no indicators of data modification, execution, or financial operations. The 'Free' note likely refers to cost.

From the tool's own definition: "'Controller-ready reflective brief with symptoms, actions taken, current status, and the next decision' — describes generating/retrieving a summary report"

## Use case

AI agents call generate_controller_brief to retrieve information from Witness Protocol 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 Witness Protocol:

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