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

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

## Why sympy_expand is rated High

This tool runs symbolic mathematics computation (expression expansion) through SymPy. While it doesn't read persistent data or write/delete anything, it executes code/computation on the server side. The blast radius is low since it only performs mathematical transformations with no side effects on external systems or data stores.

From the tool's own definition: "'Expand an expression' — performs symbolic computation via SymPy"

## Use case

AI agents invoke sympy_expand to trigger actions in Pypi:mcp Sympy. 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 Pypi:mcp Sympy:
