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

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

## Why agent.benchmark_performance is rated High

This tool executes benchmarking operations, which involve running test code and triggering external performance measurement workflows. While benchmarking is typically read-like in intent (gathering metrics), the actual execution of benchmarks constitutes code execution whose side effects (resource consumption, timing measurements, state changes) depend on the benchmark parameters provided.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'run' semantic (benchmark_performance implies execution): 'Run comprehensive agent benchmarks' in the description explicitly indicates code/operation execution."

## Use case

AI agents invoke agent.benchmark_performance to trigger actions in ContextForge MCP Gateway. 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "agent.benchmark_performance": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
