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

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

## Why list_files is rated Low

This tool performs a directory listing, which is a read-only operation. It retrieves information about files without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The lack of parameters in the description and the straightforward nature of directory listing place this firmly in the Read category with low severity—even if an AI agent misuses it, the worst outcome is information disclosure about the filesystem, not…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_files' and description 'List files in a directory' indicate a query operation that retrieves directory contents with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_files to retrieve information from 1Panel 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 1Panel MCP Server:

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