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

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

## Why publish is rated High

This tool executes a dotnet publish command, which triggers compilation, packaging, and deployment artifact generation. It is an active execution of an external process with real side effects (writing build artifacts to output paths). The blast radius is high because an AI agent could publish unintended builds or configurations to deployment targets.

From the tool's own definition: "'Runs dotnet publish for deployment' — actively executes a build/publish pipeline process"

## Use case

AI agents invoke publish to trigger actions in Test. 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 Test:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "publish": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "publish_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
