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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "extract_keywords",
    "arguments": {
      "text": "<text>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why extract_keywords is rated Low

This tool performs frequency-based keyword extraction, a pure read operation that analyzes input text and returns results. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete anything, or move money. The operation is deterministic and safe for AI agent use.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'extract_keywords' and description 'Extract keywords from text based on frequency' indicate a text analysis operation that retrieves/queries information from provided text without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call extract_keywords to retrieve information from TinyFn 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 TinyFn:

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