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

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

## Why explain_recommendation is rated High

explain_recommendation 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: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents invoke explain_recommendation to trigger actions in Elementify MCP. 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 Elementify MCP:

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