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

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

## Why capture_screen is rated Low

This tool reads/captures visual data from the screen and returns it as an image. It has no write or destructive side effects. However, it can expose sensitive information visible on screen (passwords, private data, confidential documents), making it a medium severity Read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Capture a full-screen screenshot as a PNG image"

## Use case

AI agents call capture_screen to retrieve information from Iconnect 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 Iconnect:

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