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

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

## Why generate_incident_rca is rated Low

The tool appears to generate a root cause analysis (RCA) report by analyzing an incident — this is primarily a read/analysis operation that produces a structured document. No data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial transaction is implied. The word 'Free' likely indicates no cost.

From the tool's own definition: "Reflective incident analysis with evidence, causes, corrective actions, and prevention steps. Free."

## Use case

AI agents call generate_incident_rca 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_incident_rca": {}
  }
}
```
