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

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

## Why usage_info_tool is rated Low

This tool queries usage statistics and quota metrics for an active instance. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. The function is informational only, making it a Read operation with minimal security risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Get usage statistics and quota information' — purely retrieves data without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call usage_info_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": {
    "usage_info_tool": {}
  }
}
```
