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

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

## Why permission_get is rated Low

This tool queries the current state of security permissions and allowed resources. It has no side effects—it only returns information about what permissions are already configured. This is a standard Read category operation with low severity since it merely exposes existing permission metadata without enabling harmful actions directly.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'permission_get' and description 'Get current security permissions (mode + allowed dirs/commands)' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves configuration data without modifying or executing anything."

## Use case

AI agents call permission_get to retrieve information from LocalAnt 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 LocalAnt:

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