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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "arif_kernel_health",
    "arguments": {}

## Why arif_kernel_health is rated Low

This is a diagnostic tool that queries system health status (kernel metrics, file system signals) without performing any modifications, executions, or destructive operations. It retrieves information passively and has minimal blast radius if misused by an agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'arif_kernel_health' and description 'Light kernel health using core if available, else FS signals' indicates read-only health monitoring/status retrieval with no modification of data."

## Use case

AI agents call arif_kernel_health to retrieve information from Arifos 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 Arifos:

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