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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "brief_promote",
    "arguments": {}

## Why brief_promote is rated Low

With no description available, classification must rely solely on the name. 'brief_promote' could mean promoting/advancing a brief (a Write or Execute operation), but without confirmation, confidence is very low. Placed in Other due to insufficient evidence, though severity is rated medium given sibling tools suggest execution and agent-orchestration capabilities on this server.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'brief_promote' but description is empty and uninformative."

## Use case

AI agents call brief_promote as a supporting operation in Nogra workflows.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "brief_promote": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "brief_promote_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
