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

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

## Why get_database is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata about a database (a descriptor) by identifier. It is a read-only lookup operation that has no side effects on data or system state. While the broader Tenzro Ledger MCP server handles sensitive operations (payments, signing, staking), this specific tool is scoped to database descriptor retrieval, which carries minimal risk if invoked by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_database' and description 'Look up a database descriptor by id' indicate a query/retrieval operation without modification or destructive side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_database to retrieve information from Tenzro Ledger MCP 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 Tenzro Ledger MCP:

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