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

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

## Why run_sampler_tool is rated High

Sampling tools in quantum computing frameworks execute quantum circuits on simulators or real hardware. This is an Execute category because it triggers external operations (quantum sampling) with effects determined by the provided arguments (circuits, shots, parameters). While not immediately destructive to classical data, it commits computational resources and can produce side effects dependent on untrusted input.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'run_sampler_tool' in the Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server context indicates execution of quantum sampling operations."

## Use case

AI agents invoke run_sampler_tool to trigger actions in Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server. 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 Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server:
