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

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

## Why mail is rated Medium

Mail clients typically support reading, composing, and sending emails. Sending email is a Write/Execute-level action with high blast radius (could send emails to arbitrary recipients). Because the description is empty, exact capabilities are unknown, but the most severe plausible action for a mail tool is sending messages, which is Write. Confidence is reduced due to lack of description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'mail'; description is empty. Server description states it enables 'natural language control and automation of Apple ecosystem apps' including 'Mail'."

## Use case

AI agents use mail to create or update resources in PyApple MCP Tools, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PyApple MCP Tools environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mail": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mail_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
