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

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

## Why estimate_lending_energy is rated Low

This tool is a read-only estimation utility that queries cost data for informational purposes. It does not execute transactions, modify blockchain state, move funds, or trigger irreversible actions. The 'BEFORE executing' phrase confirms it is a pre-flight check. Despite the financial domain (JustLend DAO), the tool itself merely reads/computes estimates and has no side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate it 'Estimate[s]' costs and performs calculations 'BEFORE executing' — it retrieves cost information without modifying state, executing transactions, or committing financial obligations."

## Use case

AI agents call estimate_lending_energy to retrieve information from Justlend 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 Justlend:

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