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

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

## Why identity-restore is rated Medium

The tool modifies (re-signs) existing events under a new identity context. This is a Write operation because it alters data reversibly—the original events can be re-signed again or reverted. While it affects identity and trust infrastructure (which could be sensitive), it does not delete data (ruling out Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), nor move assets (Financial).

From the tool's own definition: "Re-sign migratable events (profile, contacts, relay list) under the active identity. This modifies cryptographic signatures on existing identity-related data structures, which constitutes reversible alteration of data state."

## Use case

AI agents use identity-restore to create or update resources in Nostr Bray, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Nostr Bray environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "identity-restore": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "identity-restore_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
