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

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

## Why list_groups is rated Low

This tool performs a simple read operation to enumerate groups in the Ludus FastMCP system. It retrieves existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an unauthorized user could discover group membership information, but cannot alter the system state or trigger costly operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_groups' and description 'List all groups' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_groups to retrieve information from Ludus FastMCP 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 Ludus FastMCP:

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