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

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

## Why council_ask is rated Low

The tool's function is to query multiple AI providers in parallel and return their responses. While it makes external API calls, those calls are informational queries, not destructive operations, arbitrary code execution, or financial transactions. The explicit statement that 'YOUR credentials are never shared' reinforces that this is a safe read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Ask[s] multiple AI providers the same question simultaneously' and 'Returns each response with timing.' This is a query/retrieval operation that sends a prompt to external services and retrieves responses."

## Use case

AI agents call council_ask to retrieve information from 0nmcp 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 0nmcp:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
