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

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

## Why list_triggers is rated Low

This tool retrieves or enumerates trigger definitions from PostgreSQL, which is a non-destructive query operation. No side effects are mentioned or implied by the name. Although the description is empty, the naming convention clearly indicates a retrieval operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_triggers' indicates a query operation that retrieves trigger metadata from the PostgreSQL database. The 'list' prefix is characteristic of Read operations that enumerate database objects without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call list_triggers to retrieve information from Mcpg 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 Mcpg:

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

## 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`
