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

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

## Why list_transform_maps is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays existing Transform Map configurations without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is purely informational. The low severity reflects that listing configuration metadata has minimal blast radius—it does not enable code execution, data destruction, or financial operations, and the information retrieved is typically internal system configuration not sensitive user data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'List[s] Transform Maps' which is a retrieval/query operation with no modification of data. Transform Maps are configuration objects used for data import, and listing them is a read-only inspection operation."

## Use case

AI agents call list_transform_maps 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_transform_maps": {}
  }
}
```
