## Why async_tool is rated Low

With no description and only a generic name, there is no basis to determine what this tool does. The name 'async_tool' only indicates it may operate asynchronously, but gives no information about its action or blast radius. Confidence is very low; defaulting to Other with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'async_tool' and description is empty or uninformative."

## Use case

AI agents call async_tool as a supporting operation in Enhanced Image Analysis MCP Server workflows.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
