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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "util_x402_server_probe",
    "arguments": {
      "url": "<url>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why util_x402_server_probe is rated Low

The tool performs read-only discovery and inspection operations (status checks, tool listing, OpenAPI retrieval) against an x402 server. No write, execute, or destructive actions are implied. Misuse potential is low as it only gathers information, though it could be used to map attack surfaces on external servers.

From the tool's own definition: "'Probe an x402 server end-to-end: discovery, status, tools, reliability, and OpenAPI' — purely interrogates/inspects a remote server without modifying state"

Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (url)

## Use case

AI agents call util_x402_server_probe 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.
