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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "usage_stats",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why usage_stats is rated Low

This tool queries and returns historical usage data and statistics. It has no side effects, does not create or modify data, does not execute operations, and does not involve financial transactions. It is a pure Read operation used for observability and debugging of API integration health.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Return summary stats' of server usage—retrieves aggregated metrics and activity logs. Explicitly marked 'Free' and positioned as a diagnostic/monitoring tool ('Use to verify your own integration')."

## Use case

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
