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

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

## Why get_api_key is rated Low

This is a read-only operation that retrieves data (an API key) by identifier. While API keys are sensitive credentials, the tool itself performs no side effects—it simply fetches existing data. The severity is low because exposure of this tool alone does not enable destructive, financial, or code execution actions; an agent would still need the retrieved key and knowledge of what to do with it.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_api_key' and description 'Get a specific API key by ID' indicate retrieval of an existing API key resource without modification or deletion."

## Use case

AI agents call get_api_key to retrieve information from instantKOM 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 instantKOM MCP Server:

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