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

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

## Why type_text is rated High

Typing text into an active control is an external operation that can trigger actions in any application (forms, terminals, chat windows, code editors, etc.). An AI agent misusing this could submit commands, fill forms with malicious data, or interact with sensitive UI elements.

From the tool's own definition: "'Type text into the active control' — triggers keyboard input into whatever application/control currently has focus"

## Use case

AI agents invoke type_text 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": {
    "type_text": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "type_text_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
