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

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

## Why trust-request is rated Medium

This tool creates a new attestation request message. This is a reversible write operation (the request can be rejected or ignored, and DMs are not permanently binding). It does not delete data (Destructive), execute code (Execute), move funds (Financial), or merely read data (Read).

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it will 'Send an attestation request' via encrypted DM. Sending is a write operation that creates a new message/attestation request record in the recipient's DM history and potentially modifies the sender's attestation state."

## Use case

AI agents use trust-request 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": {
    "trust-request": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "trust-request_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
