- Server: Nodebench (`nodebench-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench.md
- Install: `npx -y nodebench-mcp`
- Homepage: https://github.com/HomenShum/nodebench-ai
- Risk category: Write (Medium risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

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

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

## Why resolveSniffCheck is rated Medium

The tool modifies the state of an existing sniff check record, making it a Write operation (reversible state change rather than deletion). Without more context about what 'sniff check' entails or what downstream effects the resolution triggers, severity is medium—it changes data but appears bounded in scope.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool resolves a pending sniff check by updating its status to one of three states (approved, rejected, or needs_revision). The verb 'resolve' combined with explicit state-change options indicates modification of data."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "resolveSniffCheck": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "resolvesniffcheck_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
