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

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

## Why snow_rest_message_test_suite is rated High

A 'testing suite' for REST messages actively executes HTTP requests against external endpoints, tests authentication flows, and validates responses. This constitutes triggering external operations with potentially broad side effects depending on the REST endpoints targeted. It goes beyond read-only querying — it actively invokes REST calls, which could modify external systems or expose credentials.

From the tool's own definition: "Comprehensive testing suite for REST messages including authentication, endpoints, headers, and response validation"

## Use case

AI agents invoke snow_rest_message_test_suite to trigger actions in Serac. 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 Serac:

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