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

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

## Why hooks_intelligence_pattern-search is rated Low

The tool's core function is searching and retrieving pattern data using vector search algorithms. While classified as Read, the medium severity reflects that vector search results could potentially inform downstream decision-making in an agent orchestration context.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Search patterns using REAL vector search (HNSW when available, brute-force fallback)' - primarily a search/query operation that retrieves data without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call hooks_intelligence_pattern-search to retrieve information from Claude Flow 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 Claude Flow:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "hooks_intelligence_pattern-search": {}
  }
}
```
