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

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

## Why list_collections is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays hierarchical information about existing collections and their objects in a Blender scene. It performs no data modifications, deletions, code execution, or external operations—only inspection and enumeration of scene structure, which is characteristic of Read category tools.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_collections' and description 'List all collections in the scene as a tree with their objects' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_collections to retrieve information from Blender Copilot MCP Server 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 Blender Copilot MCP Server:

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