  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

## Why get_clinical_trial is rated Low

This is a retrietary/query operation that retrieves existing clinical trial metadata. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not create or modify data, and does not delete or move money. The verb 'Fetch' and the specification of read-only output (eligibility criteria, locations) confirm a Read classification.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Fetch a single clinical trial' — retrieves data by identifier (NCT id or internal id) with no indication of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. Returns structured information: eligibility criteria and locations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_clinical_trial to retrieve information from Cure Cancer With AI 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 Cure Cancer With AI:

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