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

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

## Why bias.detect_demographic_bias is rated Low

This tool reads data, analyzes it for bias patterns, and returns assessment results. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations that change system state. The output is analytical/observational only. Severity is low because misuse would at worst generate false bias reports, causing reputational concern but no irreversible damage or security breach.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'detect' and description states 'Identify bias' — both indicate information retrieval and analysis without data modification, deletion, or execution of external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call bias.detect_demographic_bias to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "bias.detect_demographic_bias": {}
  }
}
```
