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

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

## Why runSpotFixScan is rated High

The tool executes a scanning operation that inspects system state and potentially marks or reports issues (stale missions, blocked tasks). While it does not destructively delete data or execute arbitrary code, it triggers an external operation ('scan') whose effects depend on the system being scanned.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'runSpotFixScan' contains 'run', and description indicates it 'Scan[s] for common operational issues' including stale missions, blocked tasks, and old checks."

## Use case

AI agents invoke runSpotFixScan to trigger actions in Nodebench. 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 Nodebench:

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