## Facts

- Tool: `biome-check`
- Server: Cargo (`Dave-London/Pare`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-dave-london-cargo.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/Dave-London/pare
- Risk category: Execute (High risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why biome-check is rated High

The tool executes the Biome linter/formatter tool against code, which runs an external process. While it primarily reads and analyzes files for diagnostics, 'format' implies it may modify files. The word 'Runs' confirms it triggers an external operation. Classified as Execute due to running an external tool; severity is medium since it could potentially modify source files during formatting.

From the tool's own definition: "Runs Biome check (lint + format) and returns structured diagnostics"

## Use case

AI agents invoke biome-check to trigger actions in Cargo. 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 Cargo:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "biome-check": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "biome-check_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
