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

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

## Why util_feed_discover is rated Low

This tool discovers and returns information about available feeds without modifying data, executing code, or triggering external side effects. It is a straightforward read/query operation that helps locate resources for passive consumption.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'util_feed_discover' and description 'Find RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds so agents can subscribe' indicate discovery and retrieval of feed metadata. No creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations is implied."

Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (url)

## Use case

AI agents call util_feed_discover to retrieve information from Delx MCP Server 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 Server:

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

## 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`
