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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "metrics_summary",
    "arguments": {}

## Why metrics_summary is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries financial metrics data for display/monitoring purposes. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute transactions. While the server offers trading capabilities, this specific tool is strictly informational. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose data already available to the authenticated user, with no ability to alter account state or execute trades.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'metrics_summary' and description 'Gets comprehensive metrics summary for monitoring' indicate data retrieval only. The verb 'Gets' and the purpose of 'monitoring' (passive observation) confirm read-only behavior with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call metrics_summary to retrieve information from Open Stocks 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 Open Stocks MCP:

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