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

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

## Why transport_status is rated Low

The name 'transport_status' most naturally implies retrieving or checking the status of a transport/operation, which is a read-only operation. Lack of descriptive text lowers confidence but the semantic meaning of 'status' queries—querying current state without modification—points to the Read category. No evidence of side effects, destructive capability, or financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'transport_status' suggests querying status information. Description is empty, limiting direct evidence. Context indicates this is a Nogra server focused on verification and trust layers with no credentials."

## Use case

AI agents call transport_status to retrieve information from Nogra 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 Nogra:

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