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

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

## Why use_time_stop_segments is rated High

use_time_stop_segments 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.

## Use case

AI agents invoke use_time_stop_segments to trigger actions in Torch-to-Crown. 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 Torch-to-Crown:

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