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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "vision.binary.authorize",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why vision.binary.authorize is rated Low

The tool performs validation and reporting of authorization metadata—intrinsically a read operation that queries existing data and returns information. No mutations, deletions, executions, or financial operations are implied. The 'Validate' and 'report' language confirms information retrieval without side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description indicate 'Validate' and 'report', which are read-only operations that retrieve and return information about an AnalysisAuthorization's permissions without modifying state."

## Use case

AI agents call vision.binary.authorize to retrieve information from Visionmcp 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 Visionmcp:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "vision.binary.authorize": {}
  }
}
```
