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

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

## Why decode_state_code is rated Low

The tool name 'decode' suggests it translates or retrieves data (state code to state details), consistent with the server's stated purpose of providing 'master data lookups.' No modification, execution, deletion, or financial operation is implied. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the naming pattern and server context strongly indicate a read-only data lookup operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool named 'decode_state_code' with empty description; based on naming convention and sibling tools on this server (which perform lookups and validations), this appears to be a master data lookup function that maps state codes to state information."

## Use case

AI agents call decode_state_code to retrieve information from Mcp India Stack 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 Mcp India Stack:

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