# run_capability

Run one exact capability through the governed dispatcher. Defaults to preview for every call. Set dryRun:false to execute reads, including paid provider reads and enrichment. Live writes remain subject to server-bound approval, reason, policy, and idempotency controls. Product profiles refuse references outside their namespace.

## Facts

- Server: Adrata (`@adrata/adrata-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/adrata-adrata-mcp.md
- Install: `npx -y @adrata/adrata-mcp`
- Homepage: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@adrata/adrata-mcp
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why run_capability is rated High

run_capability triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents invoke run_capability to trigger actions in Adrata. 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 Adrata:

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