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

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

## Why pr-ready is rated Medium

This tool modifies the state of a pull request (draft vs. ready for review). It is a reversible state change — the undo=true parameter explicitly supports reverting the action. No data is deleted, no code is executed, and no financial transaction occurs. It fits squarely in the Write category.

From the tool's own definition: "Marks a pull request as ready for review (or converts it back to draft when undo=true)"

## Use case

AI agents use pr-ready to create or update resources in Github, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Github environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Github:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pr-ready": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "pr-ready_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
