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

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

## Why get_credential is rated Low

This tool retrieves sensitive authentication material (credentials). While it is a Read operation (no data is created, modified, or deleted), the sensitivity of the data accessed (credentials) elevates severity to high. An agent misusing this tool could expose API keys, tokens, or other secrets, potentially compromising downstream systems and services.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_credential' and description 'Retrieve credentials for a specific tool' indicate data retrieval with no modification."

## Use case

AI agents call get_credential to retrieve information from Automagik Tools 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 Automagik Tools:

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