# brc_getting_started

Use this whenever the user asks how to start, says start or getting started, wants to connect or reconnect companies, or asks for a concise overview of Red. Return the current customer-friendly overview, connection steps, help options, safe workflow, and example prompts. For a specific tutorial, screenshot, article, YouTube video, or webinar question — or any red-help / /red-help command — use brc_red_help (or brc_find_help_resources for compatibility). If the user asks what they can do or what permissions they have, call brc_get_deployment_policy instead and state only current permissions — do not list tool names or counts.

## Why brc_getting_started is rated High

brc_getting_started triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

## Use case

AI agents invoke brc_getting_started to trigger actions in Red by Big Red Cloud. 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 Red by Big Red Cloud:

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