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

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

## Why get_io_performance_metrics is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves I/O performance data (bandwidth, IOPS, request sizes) from existing BP5 data files. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve performance information, which poses no threat to data integrity or system stability.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_io_performance_metrics' and description 'Extract I/O performance metrics' indicate data retrieval only. The verbs 'extract' and 'get' are read operations that retrieve performance statistics without modifying or executing external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_io_performance_metrics to retrieve information from CLIO Adios 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 CLIO Adios:

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

## 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`
