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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

  "params": {
    "name": "list_ssids",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_ssids is rated Low

This tool retrieves WLAN SSID configuration objects from Aruba Central without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward query operation with no side effects, fitting the 'Read' category. Low severity because SSID information disclosure has limited blast radius and does not enable unauthorized changes or resource consumption.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_ssids' and description 'Return wlan-ssid objects' indicate data retrieval with no modification capability. The phrase 'bounded by default' suggests scope limitations typical of read-only queries."

## Use case

AI agents call list_ssids to retrieve information from API-Central 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 API-Central:

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