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

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

## Why list_rate_limits is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries rate limit policies without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and used to discover existing rate limit configurations prior to mutations or deletions. This is a classic Read operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_rate_limits' and description explicitly states it 'List rate limits' and is used to 'find an existing policy before' other operations. The description indicates this is a retrieval/query operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_rate_limits to retrieve information from Portkey Admin without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Portkey Admin:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_rate_limits": {}
  }
}
```
