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

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

## Why stat_path is rated Low

The 'stat' operation is a standard filesystem utility that returns metadata about a file or path (size, permissions, timestamps, etc.) without side effects. In the context of an auditable memory system for AI agents, this likely retrieves status information about memory artifacts or paths. No description was provided, which reduces confidence slightly, but the semantics of 'stat' strongly indicate read-only behavior.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'stat_path' suggests retrieving filesystem or path metadata (stat = status/statistics). Empty description provides limited direct evidence, but the naming convention indicates a query operation that retrieves information without modifying state."

## Use case

AI agents call stat_path to retrieve information from Mapi Agent Memory 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 Mapi Agent Memory:

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