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

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

## Why sympy_func is rated Low

This tool retrieves structural information (the head function) from a SymPy expression. It performs a read-only inspection operation with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive action. The operation is consistent with SymPy's introspection capabilities and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'sympy_func' with description 'Get head function of expression' indicates a query/retrieval operation that extracts metadata about a symbolic expression without modifying it."

## Use case

AI agents call sympy_func to retrieve information from Pypi:mcp Sympy 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 Pypi:mcp Sympy:

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