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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "alert_policies",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why alert_policies is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries existing alert policy definitions without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a pure read operation that returns information about how alerts are configured for delivery and escalation. The blast radius of misuse is minimal as it only exposes configuration metadata without enabling unauthorized actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'alert_policies' and description states 'List all available alert policies' - the verb 'List' indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call alert_policies to retrieve information from Truenas 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 Truenas:

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