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

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

## Why get_nostr_identity is rated Low

This tool retrieves identity data (nostr identity associated with an agent) with no side effects. It is a read-only operation that queries existing information. The incomplete description ('Get the agent') and lack of mutation, execution, or financial semantics place it firmly in the Read category. Severity is low because identity retrieval poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_nostr_identity' and description 'Get the agent' indicate data retrieval. The tool fetches identity information without modifying, deleting, or executing operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_nostr_identity to retrieve information from Lightning Wallet 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 Lightning Wallet:

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