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

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

## Why unifi_get_snmp_settings is rated Low

This is a Read operation that queries SNMP configuration state. While the operation itself is read-only with no side effects, the retrieved data (community string) is sensitive authentication material that could be exploited if exposed to an unauthorized agent. Severity is medium due to the confidential nature of the returned data, though the tool itself performs no destructive or execute actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get current SNMP settings' — retrieves configuration data without modification. However, the data includes 'community string', which is a credential."

## Use case

AI agents call unifi_get_snmp_settings 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": {
    "unifi_get_snmp_settings": {}
  }
}
```
