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

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

## Why inspect_archive is rated Low

The name 'inspect' strongly indicates a read operation that retrieves or examines data without modification. Confidence is moderate (0.6) rather than high because the description is empty and we cannot verify the actual function signature or whether it has any side effects. Severity is low given the presumed read-only nature and typical use case of data inspection in scientific computing contexts.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'inspect_archive' suggests inspection/examination of archive contents; no description provided. In context of a data analysis server (CLIO Adios) focused on 'Fetch and analyze BP5 data files', inspection typically implies read-only querying or…"

## Use case

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