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

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

## Why list-package is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves NuGet package information from a .NET project. It is a read-only operation that lists dependencies and their versions, similar to 'list' or 'get' operations. It has no side effects, does not modify files, execute commands, delete data, or move funds. The blast radius of misuse is minimal - an agent could only retrieve package information that is already present in the project manifest.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list-package' and description indicates it 'Runs dotnet list package and returns structured NuGet package listings' - a query operation that retrieves package metadata without modifying state."

## Use case

AI agents call list-package to retrieve information from Git 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 Git:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list-package": {}
  }
}
```
