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

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

## Why hippo_stats_velocity is rated Low

This tool performs measurement and reporting of growth rate statistics within a defined time window. It retrieves and calculates aggregate data but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. This is consistent with Read category tools that analyze and return computed results without side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool computes 'growth rate in rolling window' — a statistical analysis operation that queries and retrieves metrics over a time period. No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations described."

## Use case

AI agents call hippo_stats_velocity to retrieve information from Verimem 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 Verimem:

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