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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

## Why transkribus_recog_text2image_citlab is rated High

This tool triggers execution of a computational process (text-to-image alignment using CITlab, an OCR/HTR service) rather than simply retrieving data. It performs an operation whose outcome is determined by the input arguments (which collection is targeted). While the operation is not destructive or irreversible, it executes external code/services and consumes computational resources.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it will 'Run CITlab Text2Image alignment for a collection,' indicating execution of an external recognition/processing operation (CITlab Text2Image) whose effects depend on the collection specified as input."

## Use case

AI agents invoke transkribus_recog_text2image_citlab to trigger actions in Transkribus. 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 Transkribus:
