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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "transcripts",

## Why transcripts is rated Low

The tool inspects (reads) stored transcripts, which is a read-only retrieval operation. No modification, deletion, or execution is implied. Severity is low as it accesses stored data but does not modify or destroy anything, though there is mild sensitivity risk if transcripts contain confidential conversation data.

From the tool's own definition: "'Inspect stored transcripts' — retrieves/reads stored transcript data with no indication of side effects"

## Use case

AI agents call transcripts to retrieve information from OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw:

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