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

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

## Why crow_workspace_dir is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves path and storage information for a project workspace. It has no side effects: it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. While the returned paths could theoretically be used by other tools to perform destructive actions, this tool itself merely reads and returns existing information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Returns the absolute filesystem workspace path' and 'Returns the storage prefix' — both read operations that retrieve configuration/path information without modifying anything."

## Use case

AI agents call crow_workspace_dir to retrieve information from Crow 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 Crow:

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