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

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

## Why list_resources is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries resource information from the New Relic API with no apparent side effects or capability to modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a straightforward enumeration operation, placing it in the Read category with low severity and high confidence.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_resources' and description 'List newrelic-api resources' indicate a data retrieval operation. The verb 'list' is a standard read operation that retrieves information without modifying it."

## Use case

AI agents call list_resources to retrieve information from Ncp 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 Ncp:

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