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

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

## Why search_by_id is rated Low

This tool retrieves blockchain data (blocks, transactions, contracts, accounts) based on identifiers. It performs lookups and queries with no side effects, no code execution, and no state changes. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk in a DeFi context—it merely surfaces publicly available blockchain information.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_by_id' and description 'Search blocks, transactions, contracts, or accounts by hash/ID' indicate data retrieval operations without modification or execution capabilities."

## Use case

AI agents call search_by_id to retrieve information from Stacks AI 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 Stacks AI MCP Server:

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