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

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

## Why reinstall is rated High

A 'reinstall' operation on cloud infrastructure typically wipes and reinstalls the OS on a compute instance, which is a destructive and irreversible action that destroys existing data. However, since the description is empty, I cannot confirm this with certainty. Given the context of Vultr cloud infrastructure management, this is most likely an instance OS reinstall, which could be Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'reinstall'; description is empty or uninformative."

## Use case

AI agents invoke reinstall to trigger actions in Vultr MCP. 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 Vultr MCP:

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