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

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

    "arguments": {}

## Why get_list_items is rated Low

Despite the empty description, the naming convention and the presence of similar read-only tools on the server (get_document_by_path, get_document_content, get_item_metadata, download_file) establish this as a retrieval operation with no side effects. Reading list items from SharePoint carries minimal blast radius. Confidence is reduced slightly due to missing description, but the name is sufficiently clear.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_list_items' follows the read-operation pattern (get_*). Context from sibling tools shows this server provides document/list retrieval operations. No description provided, but the name strongly indicates a query/retrieval function."

## Use case

AI agents call get_list_items to retrieve information from Sharepoint 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 Sharepoint:

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