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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "clearpass_status",
    "arguments": {}

## Why clearpass_status is rated Low

This tool queries and reports configuration status of a backend system. It retrieves existing data without creating, modifying, executing operations, or causing irreversible changes. The read-only nature and informational purpose place it firmly in the Read category with low severity, as misuse by an AI agent would only result in information disclosure rather than operational or financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "'Report whether ClearPass backend is configured' - purely retrieves status information with no modification or execution capabilities."

## Use case

AI agents call clearpass_status to retrieve information from Hpe Networking 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 Hpe Networking:

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