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

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

## Why util_stdev is rated Low

Standard deviation is a read-only mathematical operation on input data. The tool does not create, modify, delete, or execute arbitrary code. The $0.001 USDC pricing indicates a lightweight utility call with no financial or destructive intent. While the server context involves witness protocols and wallets, this specific tool's description provides no evidence of side effects or irreversible actions.

From the tool's own definition: "util_stdev is described as a 'micro-utility' that performs a statistical calculation (standard deviation). The name and description indicate a computational function that retrieves or computes data without modifying state or triggering external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call util_stdev 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Delx Mcp A2a:

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