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

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

## Why line_count is rated Low

This is a straightforward data retrieval and analysis tool. It takes text as input and returns statistical counts without altering the data, triggering external operations, or affecting system state. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an agent cannot cause harm by counting lines in text. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'line_count' performs a counting/analysis operation on text input. The description states it 'Count[s] total lines, non-empty lines, and blank lines in text' — purely observational with no modification, deletion, execution, or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call line_count to retrieve information from GadgetHumans API Hub 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 GadgetHumans API Hub:

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