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

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

## Why open_address is rated High

This tool launches Apple Maps and navigates to a given address, which is an external operation/browser-like action. It doesn't merely read data; it actively opens and drives an application. No data is modified or destroyed, and there are no financial implications, so Execute is the most appropriate category. Blast radius is low since it only opens a maps view.

From the tool's own definition: "'Open a specific address in Apple Maps' — triggers an external application (Maps) to open and display a location"

## Use case

AI agents invoke open_address to trigger actions in Iconnect. 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 Iconnect:

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