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

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

## Why type_text is rated High

Typing text into a focused field on a mobile device is an external operation whose effects depend on arguments (what is typed and where). It could submit forms, send messages, enter credentials, or trigger other actions. This is an Execute-category operation as it drives device automation with real-world consequences, though not inherently destructive or financial on its own.

From the tool's own definition: "'Type into focused field' — triggers a UI interaction (text input) on a mobile device via ADB/simctl, causing external side effects dependent on the target field and content"

## Use case

AI agents invoke type_text to trigger actions in Claude Mobile. 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 Claude Mobile:

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