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

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

## Why list_auth_profiles is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists existing NAC authentication profile configurations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with no side effects, fitting the Read category. Severity is low because listing authentication profiles provides information about security posture but does not directly enable unauthorized access or changes without additional tools.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_auth_profiles' and description 'List Central NAC authentication profiles' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability. The phrase 'bounded by default' suggests appropriate access controls."

## Use case

AI agents call list_auth_profiles 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": {
    "list_auth_profiles": {}
  }
}
```
