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

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

## Why install_role_from_url is rated High

Installing a role from a URL involves fetching external code and deploying it into the environment, which is an execution-class action with potential for supply chain risk. The description is empty, lowering confidence, but the name strongly implies executing an install operation from an arbitrary external source, which carries high severity due to potential for malicious code installation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'install_role_from_url' implies fetching and installing an Ansible role from an external URL, which executes installation operations on the system."

## Use case

AI agents invoke install_role_from_url to trigger actions in Ludus FastMCP. 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 Ludus FastMCP:
