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

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

## Why vm_available_memory is rated Low

This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation to check available memory resources. It has no side effects, cannot modify system state, and poses minimal risk if an AI agent calls it. The worst outcome is retrieving accurate or inaccurate memory information, which does not cause harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'vm_available_memory' and description 'Get the amount of memory available for allocating to VMs, in bytes' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves system information without modifying, executing, or deleting any data."

## Use case

AI agents call vm_available_memory to retrieve information from Nasbridge 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 Nasbridge:

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