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

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

## Why get_system_routes is rated Low

This tool retrieves network routing information for visibility and monitoring purposes. It has no side effects, does not modify system configuration, and poses minimal risk even if invoked by an AI agent. The blast radius is limited to information disclosure, which in a firewall management context is expected operational behavior.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate retrieval only: 'Get system routing table' with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. The verb 'get' and the informational nature (querying routing table state) confirm read-only access."

## Use case

AI agents call get_system_routes to retrieve information from OPNsense 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 OPNsense MCP Server:

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