- Server: Basis MCP Server (`launch-on-basis/mcp-ts`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/launch-on-basis-mcp-ts.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Launch-On-Basis/MCP-TS
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

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

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

## Why updown_paused is rated Low

This tool reads the paused status of an UPDOWN asset and returns that information. It performs no side effects, creates no transactions, and modifies no state. It is a simple state query, falling squarely into the Read category with low severity since misuse would only retrieve information without affecting any blockchain state or assets.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states 'Check if an UPDOWN asset is paused', which is a query operation that retrieves status information. The phrase 'writes will revert if true' describes a consequence of the paused state, not an action this tool performs."

## Use case

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