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

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

## Why getAlg is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves ALG (Application Layer Gateway) configuration settings for network inspection purposes. It performs no modifications, deletion, or execution of commands. While the Omada controller context involves network operations, this specific tool is strictly a read operation that returns configuration state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getAlg' and description state 'Get ALG configuration' — retrieves configuration data without modification. The description emphasizes inspection and configuration reading of application layer gateway settings."

## Use case

AI agents call getAlg to retrieve information from Tplink Omada 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 Tplink Omada:

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