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

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

## Why ruvector-attention is rated High

The tool explicitly performs execution of attention mechanisms across 39 different computational types. While the output (transformed tensor representations) is reversible, the act of executing arbitrary attention operations on neural network inputs qualifies as Execute rather than Write, as the primary effect is computational rather than data persistence.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'Execute' verb and description states 'Execute attention mechanism' with computational operations on neural network components."

## Use case

AI agents invoke ruvector-attention to trigger actions in Claude Flow. 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 Claude Flow:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ruvector-attention": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ruvector-attention_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
