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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

    "name": "new_catalog",
    "arguments": {}

## Why new_catalog is rated Low

The description is essentially empty ('string'), providing no actionable information about what this tool does. The name 'new_catalog' on a Baidu Map API server might suggest creating a new catalog or category entry (Write), but given the mapping/geo context and the complete lack of description, confidence is very low. Defaulting to Other due to insufficient evidence, while acknowledging it could be Write.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description is empty/uninformative: only 'string' is provided as the description. Tool name 'new_catalog' could imply writing a new catalog entry, but without a meaningful description, the exact behavior cannot be determined."

## Use case

AI agents call new_catalog as a supporting operation in Baidu Map workflows.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "new_catalog": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "new_catalog_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
