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

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

## Why econ.commodity is rated Low

This tool queries and returns commodity price data. It has no side effects, does not modify any data, does not execute code or commands, and does not perform financial transactions. The fact that the MCP server is settlement-based (pay-per-call in USDC) is a billing model for tool access, not a property of this specific tool. Reading commodity prices is a classic Read category operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves 'Latest benchmark commodity price + % change' from external data sources (EIA/IMF via FRED). It is a query/fetch operation with no parameters that modify state or execute code."

## Use case

AI agents call econ.commodity to retrieve information from Mcp 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 Mcp:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "econ.commodity": {}
  }
}
```
