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

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

## Why debounce is rated Low

Debounce is a timing control mechanism that delays or coalesces rapid successive calls. Based on the description, this tool appears to set or configure a debounce duration. This is a configuration/utility operation that doesn't clearly fit Read, Write, Execute, Destructive, or Financial categories. The description is minimal and uninformative about what action is being debounced, lowering confidence.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description only says 'debounce duration (e.g. 500ms, 2s)' — describes a timing/delay configuration parameter, not a data operation"

## Use case

AI agents call debounce as a supporting operation in OpenClaw workflows.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches OpenClaw:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "debounce": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "debounce_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
