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

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

## Why wait_for_http is rated High

Network diagnostic/monitoring operations that wait for external HTTP responses constitute execution of network operations whose effects depend on target arguments (URL, timeout, etc.). This is less severe than arbitrary command execution but more impactful than simple read operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'wait_for_http' suggests network operation that blocks/waits for HTTP responses. Server context indicates it enables 'command execution' and 'network diagnostics.' Empty description limits evidence, but waiting for HTTP typically involves making…"

## Use case

AI agents invoke wait_for_http to trigger actions in Allcanuse. 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 Allcanuse:

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