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

## Why maps is rated Low

With no description available, we can only infer from the tool name 'maps' and server context that this likely interfaces with Apple Maps. Maps functionality typically involves searching locations, getting directions, or displaying points of interest — which are Read-type operations. However, it could also open navigation or interact with the app in other ways. Given the empty description, confidence is low.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description is empty and uninformative; tool name is 'maps'"

## Use case

AI agents call maps as a supporting operation in PyApple MCP Tools workflows.

## 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": {
    "maps": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "maps_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
