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

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

## Why load_circuit_from_qasm_tool is rated Low

This tool appears to parse and load quantum circuit data from QASM (Quantum Assembly Language) format into memory. No description is available, which lowers confidence slightly, but the name strongly suggests a read operation (loading/parsing circuit definitions) without side effects like execution, modification, or deletion. It fits the Read category as a query/fetch operation on circuit data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'load_circuit_from_qasm_tool' indicates it loads/reads a circuit from QASM format. The verb 'load' suggests retrieval and parsing of data rather than execution or modification."

## Use case

AI agents call load_circuit_from_qasm_tool to retrieve information from Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server 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 Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server:

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