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

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

## Why semantic_chunk is rated Low

Semantic chunking is a data analysis operation that processes input content to identify meaningful boundaries based on similarity metrics. It retrieves and analyzes data without modifying the source, creating new resources, executing arbitrary code, or destroying data. The output is derived information used for indexing or organization purposes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'semantic_chunk' with description 'Semantic chunking based on content similarity' indicates analysis and partitioning of existing content. No creation, modification, deletion, or external execution is implied."

## Use case

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

## 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`
