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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why gradle-dependencies is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays existing Gradle dependency information in structured format. There is no modification, execution of arbitrary code, deletion, or financial impact. It is purely informational/diagnostic, making it a Read category tool with low severity since misuse would only expose project metadata.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gradle-dependencies' and description 'Shows the Gradle dependency tree with structured output per configuration' indicate a query/retrieval operation."

## Use case

AI agents call gradle-dependencies to retrieve information from Search 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 Search:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gradle-dependencies": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
