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

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

## Why mongosh-eval is rated High

This tool executes arbitrary MongoDB expressions through the mongosh shell. Depending on the expression passed, it can read, write, delete data, or perform administrative operations. Since it runs arbitrary code/commands against a database, it falls under Execute (and could be Destructive depending on the expression).

From the tool's own definition: "Evaluates a MongoDB expression via mongosh"

## Use case

AI agents invoke mongosh-eval 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": {
    "mongosh-eval": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mongosh-eval_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
