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

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

## Why run_workflow is rated High

run_workflow triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Risk signals: Accepts raw HTML/template content (payload)

## Use case

AI agents invoke run_workflow to trigger actions in Bannerbear Mcp Cli. 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 Bannerbear Mcp Cli:

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