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

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

## Why zoom_selected is rated High

This tool drives a UI/viewport action in Rhino 8 (zooming the camera to selected objects), which constitutes triggering an external operation in a running application. It does not merely read data but actively changes the state of the viewport. No data is created, modified, or destroyed, but it executes an external application command, placing it in Execute rather than Read.

From the tool's own definition: "'Zoom to show specific objects in a viewport' — triggers a viewport action in Rhino, an external application operation"

## Use case

AI agents invoke zoom_selected to trigger actions in Aos. 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 Aos:

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