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

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

## Why get_card is rated Low

The tool retrieves and returns data about a specific card configuration in Home Assistant's dashboard system. It performs a query-only operation ('Get') that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. The act of reading card metadata poses minimal security risk even if an AI agent calls it repeatedly or on arbitrary card IDs.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_card' and description states 'Get one card by id. Returns the card dict' — this is a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_card to retrieve information from Ha Nexus Agent 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 Ha Nexus Agent:

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