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

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

## Why execute_test_case is rated High

This tool runs automated test cases via browser automation, making it Execute rather than Write. Test execution can have unpredictable side effects depending on test content—it may modify application state, trigger business logic, or interact with external systems.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'execute_test_case' combined with server description stating 'automated test generation' and 'browser automation' capabilities."

## Use case

AI agents invoke execute_test_case to trigger actions in Percepta MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Percepta MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "execute_test_case": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "execute_test_case_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
