## Facts

- Server: Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server (`aegntic/aegntic-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/aegntic-aegntic-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/aegntic/aegntic-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": "start_capture",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why start_capture is rated High

Video capture is an Execute-category action because it initiates an external operation with side effects that persist beyond the tool call—video files are created and stored. While not immediately destructive or financial, the tool can capture sensitive information from the user's environment without clear reversibility, and its effects depend on what the system decides to record.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'start_capture' combined with description 'Start intelligent video capture with predictive moment detection' indicates initiation of a video recording/capture operation."

## Use case

AI agents invoke start_capture to trigger actions in Obsidian Elite RAG 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 Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server:

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