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

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

## Why list_scenes is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves information about existing scenes in a Blender file. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, or delete data, and poses minimal security risk. It falls clearly into the Read category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description: 'List all scenes in the current Blender file.' The verb 'list' is explicitly read-only and retrieves scene data without modification."

## Use case

AI agents call list_scenes to retrieve information from Blender 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 Blender:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
