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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "scrape_yahoo",
    "arguments": {
      "ticker": "<ticker>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why scrape_yahoo is rated Low

This tool performs a query/lookup operation that retrieves publicly available financial data. It has no side effects, does not execute arbitrary code, does not modify data, and does not create financial obligations. While the server operates on paid micropayments (USDC on Base), the tool itself only reads data rather than moving money or committing financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves Yahoo Finance ticker data (price, mcap, P/E, summary) with no modification of data or execution of code. Description explicitly states 'Get' data for finance and stock-research agents."

## Use case

AI agents call scrape_yahoo 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": {
    "scrape_yahoo": {}
  }
}
```
