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

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why run_release_checks is rated High

This tool executes external operations (package release checks and supply-chain verification) that can affect systems and workflows. While not directly destructive or financial, execution of package checks could trigger builds, deployments, or security analyses with side effects dependent on the arguments.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool name contains 'run' and the description explicitly states 'Run public package release and supply-chain hardening checks.' The verb 'Run' indicates execution of operations whose effects depend on the arguments provided (which checks to run, against…"

## Use case

AI agents invoke run_release_checks to trigger actions in Todos. 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 Todos:
