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

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

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

## Why competitor_probe_status is rated Low

The name implies retrieving status information about competitor probing rather than modifying or deleting data. However, the empty description and ambiguity around what 'probe' entails (could be reconnaissance gathering intelligence on competitors) prevents higher confidence. If it merely retrieves stored status, it is Read; if it initiates external reconnaissance, it could edge toward Execute.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'competitor_probe_status' suggests querying or checking status of competitor monitoring activities. The '_status' suffix typically indicates a read/query operation. Description is empty, reducing confidence."

## Use case

AI agents call competitor_probe_status to retrieve information from Postking 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 Postking Mcp:

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