## 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 runs arbitrary MongoDB expressions through the mongosh shell. Since it can execute any MongoDB command—including reads, writes, deletes, or administrative operations—the most severe applicable category is Execute. An AI agent could misuse this to drop databases, delete collections, or exfiltrate data, giving it a high severity blast radius.

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

## Use case

AI agents invoke mongosh-eval to trigger actions in Go. 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 Go:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "mongosh-eval": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "mongosh-eval_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
