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

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

## Why lookup_ifsc is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries financial institution identifier data (IFSC codes) from a master database. It has no capacity to modify, delete, execute commands, or move money. Even if misused by an AI agent, the worst outcome would be retrieving incorrect or irrelevant banking codes, which is low-impact. The empty description prevents elevation of confidence beyond 0.95, but the context is sufficiently clear.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'lookup_ifsc' indicates a lookup/query operation on IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) master data. Server description explicitly lists 'master data lookups (IFSC, Pincode, HSN/SAC)' as a key function."

## Use case

AI agents call lookup_ifsc 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": {
    "lookup_ifsc": {}
  }
}
```
