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

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why arvan_net_whois is rated Low

WHOIS lookups are read-only operations that query public domain registration and IP address ownership information. This is informational retrieval with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification. The severity is low because WHOIS data is already publicly available and the tool's purpose is passive information retrieval only.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'arvan_net_whois' and description 'WHOIS lookup for a domain or IP' indicate a query operation that retrieves public DNS/registration data without modifying, executing code, or causing side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call arvan_net_whois to retrieve information from ArvanCloud 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 ArvanCloud MCP Server:

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