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

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

## Why get_deployment is rated Low

The tool retrieves deployment information and status, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. Confidence is high due to clear retrieval semantics in both name and description. Severity is low as unauthorized access to deployment details poses minimal immediate risk compared to other tool categories.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_deployment' and description 'Get details and status of a specific deployment' indicate retrieval of existing data without modification or execution of operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_deployment to retrieve information from ServiceNow MCP Server 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 ServiceNow MCP Server:

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