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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

## Why long-running-task-with-no-total is rated High

The description explicitly says 'Executes a long-running task', placing it in the Execute category. The effects depend on the task arguments, which are unknown. Severity is medium because long-running tasks can consume significant resources and have side effects, but the lack of detail about what the task does lowers both severity confidence and overall confidence.

From the tool's own definition: "Executes a long-running task with real-time progress tracking"

## Use case

AI agents invoke long-running-task-with-no-total to trigger actions in Mcp Test Servers. 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 Test Servers:

```json
