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

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

## Why list_glp_virtual_machines is rated Low

This tool performs a data retrieval operation with no side effects. Listing VMs is a monitoring/querying function that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any changes to infrastructure. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only enumerate virtual machine inventory, not alter it.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_glp_virtual_machines' uses the verb 'list', which retrieves data about virtual machines without modification. Description states it lists VMs 'managed via the GLP Virtualization service', indicating a read-only query operation."

## Use case

AI agents call list_glp_virtual_machines 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_glp_virtual_machines": {}
  }
}
```
