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

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

    "name": "get_exchanges",

## Why get_exchanges is rated Low

This tool simply enumerates connected exchange accounts—a read-only retrieval of existing data with no side effects. While the broader server context involves financial trading, this specific tool does not move money, execute trades, or modify data. The information revealed (which exchanges are connected) could inform subsequent dangerous operations, but the tool itself is passive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_exchanges' and description 'List connected exchange accounts' indicate a query operation that retrieves information without modifying state. The verb 'List' is explicitly a Read operation."

## Use case

AI agents call get_exchanges to retrieve information from :GT Protocol 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 :GT Protocol MCP Server:

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