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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "x402_payment_id",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why x402_payment_id is rated Low

This tool performs read-only ID generation/derivation. It retrieves or computes data (an idempotency ID) without creating transactions, executing external code, modifying state, or transferring funds. The context (Tenzro Ledger with payments) might suggest financial relevance, but the tool itself only derives a deterministic identifier used for deduplication purposes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool derives a deterministic payment idempotency ID from an offer and payer—a pure computational function that generates a unique identifier without side effects or state modification."

## Use case

AI agents call x402_payment_id 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": {
    "x402_payment_id": {}
  }
}
```
