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

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

## Why admin_run is rated High

This tool executes arbitrary administrative actions on Windows systems with elevated privileges via scheduled-task broker. Although the description mentions 'allowlisted' which provides some constraint, the execution of elevated admin actions can have significant side effects depending on what actions are allowlisted and how an agent uses them.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Run an allowlisted elevated Windows admin action through the scheduled-task broker.' The word 'Run' combined with 'elevated' privilege level and 'admin action' indicates execution of administrative commands with elevated permissions."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents invoke admin_run to trigger actions in Mcp Control Plane. 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 Mcp Control Plane:

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