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

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

## Why display_system_metrics is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays existing system metrics (CPU, memory, disk usage, etc.) for informational purposes. The word 'display' and 'performance indicators' confirm read-only behavior. Despite the server's offensive security context, this particular tool performs no destructive, executable, or financial operations—it simply queries and formats system telemetry for visibility.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'display_system_metrics' and description 'Display current system metrics and performance indicators with visual formatting' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves and presents system performance data without modifying, executing code, or…"

## Use case

AI agents call display_system_metrics to retrieve information from Hexstrike Ai 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 Hexstrike Ai:

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