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

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

## Why reload_xref is rated High

Reloading an external reference (xref) triggers an active operation that fetches and applies the latest content from an external source file into the current drawing. This is not a simple passive read — it executes a refresh/update action that modifies the drawing's state by pulling in external data, which could have cascading effects on the drawing.

From the tool's own definition: "重新加载外部参照（获取源文件的最新内容）— 'reload' of external reference, triggering an external file read and update operation within the CAD environment"

## Use case

AI agents invoke reload_xref to trigger actions in Pypi:best Cad. 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 Pypi:best Cad:

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