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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "get_method_signature",
    "arguments": {}

## Why get_method_signature is rated Low

This tool performs introspection/metadata retrieval on method signatures. It has no side effects, does not execute code, and does not modify any game state or data. It is purely informational, used to gather information before making other API calls. This is a classic Read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Get the formal signature(s) of a method on a type' — this is a retrieval operation that queries metadata about methods without modifying or executing anything."

## Use case

AI agents call get_method_signature to retrieve information from Sbox 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 Sbox:

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