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

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

## Why list_supported_formats is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about supported formats and library versions—a straightforward read operation. It has no destructive, modifying, or executory effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an AI agent learning about supported formats cannot cause harm. Low severity is appropriate for pure information retrieval about system capabilities.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_supported_formats' and description 'List supported dataset formats and installed library versions' both indicate retrieval of existing configuration/system information with no modifications or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_supported_formats to retrieve information from Metis Public Health 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 Metis Public Health:

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