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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why access_get_event is rated Low

This tool retrieves event information by identifier. It performs a query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The 'get' verb and read-only semantics place it firmly in the Read category. The severity is low because retrieving event logs poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'access_get_event' and description 'Get a single event by ID' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call access_get_event to retrieve information from UniFi Access MCP 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 UniFi Access MCP:

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