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

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

```

## Why lookup_agent is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about an agent using a wallet address as input. It performs a lookup operation typical of Read category tools—no data is created, modified, deleted, or used to execute external operations. The severity is low because retrieving agent metadata poses minimal risk even if queried maliciously.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'lookup_agent' and description 'Lookup an agent by wallet address' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification of data."

## Use case

AI agents call lookup_agent to retrieve information from Basis MCP Server 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 Basis MCP Server:

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