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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "introspect",
    "arguments": {}
  }

```

## Why introspect is rated Low

With no explicit description provided, the most reasonable inference is that 'introspect' retrieves metadata or examines internal state (a Read operation). Confidence is moderate because the empty description creates ambiguity—introspect could theoretically be an Execute operation if it triggers code analysis or inspection routines, but in the context of an MCP server, it most likely queries available tools or…

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'introspect' has an empty description. Based on naming convention and the context of a crypto market intelligence MCP server, introspection typically involves querying or examining data structures, configurations, or system state without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call introspect to retrieve information from Cryptosense 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 Cryptosense:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
