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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "rhino_view_set",
    "arguments": {}

## Why rhino_view_set is rated High

This tool drives the Rhino application to change the active view, which is an external operation with side effects in the host application. It is not purely reading data, but rather executing a state change in Rhino's viewport. It is reversible (you can switch back), so it does not qualify as Destructive, but it does trigger an external action beyond simple data retrieval or creation.

From the tool's own definition: "'Activate a saved named view' — triggers an external operation in Rhino (changing the active viewport/camera state)"

## Use case

AI agents invoke rhino_view_set to trigger actions in Rhino. 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 Rhino:

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