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

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

## Why bake_ao is rated High

'Bake AO' in Blender context means computing and baking Ambient Occlusion maps onto objects, which is a rendering/computation operation (Execute). It triggers an external computation process in Blender. However, with no description, confidence is low. Severity is medium as misuse could overwrite existing baked data or consume significant resources.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'bake_ao' suggests baking Ambient Occlusion in Blender, but the description is empty and uninformative."

## Use case

AI agents invoke bake_ao to trigger actions in Blender Copilot MCP Server. 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 Blender Copilot MCP Server:

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