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

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

## Why lookup_user_agent_parse is rated Low

This tool retrieves and parses metadata from a User-Agent header string, returning structured information about browser, operating system, and device type. It is purely analytical with no capability to modify data, execute code, delete resources, or affect financial state. The low cost per call and explicit mention of analytics/bot-detection use cases further confirm this is a passive read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Parse a User-Agent string into browser, OS, device' and explicitly notes use case as 'analytics and bot-detection agents.' The example call shows a read-only query operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call lookup_user_agent_parse to retrieve information from GoCreative Agent API 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 GoCreative Agent API:

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