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

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

## Why scrape_imdb is rated Low

This tool retrieves publicly available film and TV metadata from IMDb without side effects. The operations performed (extracting rating, cast, plot, release date) are read-only queries. The low cost ($0.005–$0.05) and narrow scope (film/TV research) confirm minimal risk. No write, destructive, financial, or code-execution capabilities are present.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'scrape_imdb' and description 'Scrape an IMDb title (rating, cast, plot, release). Use for film and TV research.' indicate data retrieval only. No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. Returns public IMDb metadata."

## Use case

AI agents call scrape_imdb 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

  "tools": {
    "scrape_imdb": {}
  }
}
```
