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

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

## Why compare_notes is rated Low

The tool only reads and returns note content for comparison purposes. It explicitly states it is for safe review 'before deciding what to keep, merge, or delete' — meaning no modifications occur. Pure read operation with low blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Retrieve full plaintext content of 2-5 notes at once for comparison"

## Use case

AI agents call compare_notes 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": {
    "compare_notes": {}
  }
}
```
