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

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

## Why sympy_factor is rated High

This tool executes symbolic mathematics computation (factoring an expression) through the SymPy library. It runs code to transform mathematical expressions but has no side effects on data, files, or external systems. Severity is low as it is a pure computational operation with no write, destructive, or financial implications.

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

## Use case

AI agents invoke sympy_factor 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:
