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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {

## Why nrel_alt_fuel_station_detail is rated Low

This tool queries a public database (NREL alternative fuel stations) to retrieve details about a station. It has no side effects, cannot modify or delete data, and poses minimal risk if misused by an agent. The blast radius is negligible since it only exposes publicly available information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Detailed info for a single alternative fuel station by station ID' — purely retrieves information without modification. The verb 'Get' in the follow-up instruction confirms read-only lookup behavior."

## Use case

AI agents call nrel_alt_fuel_station_detail to retrieve information from Livedatalink 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 Livedatalink:

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