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

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

## Why search_multi_field_semantic is rated Low

This is a search tool that retrieves data based on semantic matching across multiple fields. It performs read-only queries without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The custom field selection allows flexible querying but does not alter underlying data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve unintended data, but cannot modify systems or trigger external effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_multi_field_semantic' and description 'Multi-field semantic search (custom field selection)' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no mutation, deletion, or execution of code."

## Use case

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

## 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`
