## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "mtr",
    "arguments": {
      "url": "<url>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why mtr is rated High

MTR (My Traceroute) is a network diagnostic tool that combines ping and traceroute functionality. It actively executes network probes and sends packets to external hosts, making it an Execute category tool. While it only reads network data, it triggers external network operations whose effects depend on the target argument.

From the tool's own definition: "Perform MTR network diagnostic test"

Risk signals: Accepts URL/endpoint input (url)

## Use case

AI agents invoke mtr to trigger actions in Mcp. 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 Mcp:

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
