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

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

## Why util_regex_test is rated Low

The tool performs pattern matching and returns results—a pure read operation with no side effects. It does not execute code, modify data, delete anything, or trigger external operations. While regex execution is technically computation, the confined scope (pattern testing against provided text) and deterministic output make this a safe read category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states: 'Test a regex pattern against text. Returns matches, groups, and count.' This is a query/test operation that retrieves information (regex matches) without modifying or executing arbitrary code based on dynamic arguments."

## Use case

AI agents call util_regex_test to retrieve information from Delx Mcp A2a without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
