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

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

## Why web_search is rated High

A 'web_search' tool typically triggers an external network operation to query the web, making it Execute category. However, because the description is empty, the exact behavior is unknown — it could be a simple read-only search or could execute more complex external operations. Severity is rated high due to potential for data exfiltration, SSRF, or unintended external requests if misused by an AI agent.

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

## Use case

AI agents invoke web_search to trigger actions in EasyBits. 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 EasyBits:

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