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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

    "name": "perform_firewall_audit",

## Why perform_firewall_audit is rated Low

A security audit examines and reports on existing configuration and security posture. It retrieves data about the firewall's current state and settings to assess compliance and identify vulnerabilities, but does not create, modify, delete, or execute actions. This is a non-destructive, informational operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'audit' and description states it 'Performs a basic security audit' - auditing is a read-only operation that queries and analyzes configuration without modifying state."

## Use case

AI agents call perform_firewall_audit 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": {
    "perform_firewall_audit": {}
  }
}
```
