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

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

## Why list_scrum_tasks is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists scrum tasks with optional filtering—a read-only operation with no side effects. It queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent (at worst, information disclosure of task data).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_scrum_tasks' and description 'List scrum tasks, optionally filtered by story' indicate a query/retrieval operation with optional filtering. No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities are described."

## Use case

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