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

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

## Why github_analyze_workflow_failure is rated Low

The tool retrieves and analyzes workflow failure logs and provides suggestions. It has no side effects—it does not execute code, modify repositories, delete data, or trigger operations. Classification as Read is appropriate for a diagnostic/analytical tool that only accesses existing log data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool explicitly performs 'read' actions: 'Read failed-job logs, classify the error type, suggest a fix'. These are read-only operations that retrieve and analyze existing data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything."

## Use case

AI agents call github_analyze_workflow_failure to retrieve information from Github 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 Github:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
