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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why query_funding_entities is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries funding data from the Convex platform without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any side effects. The operations are purely informational (search, filter, return data), making it a Read category tool with low severity since it only accesses existing data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate a search operation: 'Search funding intelligence', 'Filter by company name', 'Returns structured funding data'. These are read-only query operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of external systems."

## Use case

AI agents call query_funding_entities to retrieve information from Nodebench 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 Nodebench:

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