# grant_agent_tool

Grant ONE specific tool to an agent's loadout (tool_access). Use when an operator says "give <agent> the <tool> tool" / "let <agent> use <tool>". The tool name is validated against the live registry at write time — phantom names are rejected, deprecated names auto-map to their successor. For wholesale capability re-derivation use recalibrate_agent_jd instead; connector tools auto-provision on connection. [sensitive-tier — first use may require a manager's approval; a from-now-on approval makes future calls seamless, a just-once approval re-asks next time.]

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `reason` | string | no | Optional one-line why — stored in the audit record on the agent's JD. |
| `agent_id` | string | yes | UUID of the agent receiving the tool. Use get_team_roster to find IDs. |

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": "grant_agent_tool",
    "arguments": {
      "agent_id": "<agent_id>",
      "companyId": "<companyId>",
      "tool_name": "<tool_name>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why grant_agent_tool is rated Medium

This tool modifies agent capabilities by granting tool access, which is a reversible write operation affecting authorization state. The severity is high because granting malicious or powerful tools to an agent could enable harmful downstream actions. It does not delete (not Destructive), does not move money (not Financial), and does not directly execute code (not Execute) — it configures permissions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool grants/assigns a specific tool to an agent's loadout (tool_access), modifying the agent's capabilities. Description explicitly states 'use when an operator says 'give <agent> the <tool> tool'' — a create/modify operation on agent permissions."

## Use case

AI agents use grant_agent_tool to create or update resources in Freedom Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Freedom Mcp environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "grant_agent_tool": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "grant_agent_tool_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
