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

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

## Why privacy-open is rated Low

This tool performs a cryptographic verification operation - it reads/checks whether a given value and blinding factor match a public commitment. It has no side effects, does not write or modify data, and simply returns a boolean result. Pure read/verification operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Verify a Pedersen commitment opening...check they match the public commitment. Returns true if the commitment is valid."

## Use case

AI agents call privacy-open to retrieve information from Nostr Bray 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 Nostr Bray:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "privacy-open": {}
  }
}
```
