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

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

## Why list_memories is rated Low

This tool queries or retrieves data (keys stored in memory within a scope) without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read operation. Severity is low because listing keys poses minimal risk—it exposes only metadata about what is remembered, not sensitive values themselves, and causes no state changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_memories' and description 'List all remembered keys in a scope' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is characteristic of read-only operations."

## Use case

AI agents call list_memories to retrieve information from Frontmcp 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 Frontmcp:

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