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

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

## Why wavexis_emulate_device is rated High

This tool executes a browser automation command that changes the browser's emulation state. While not inherently destructive or financial, it performs an external operation (device emulation) whose side effects depend on the argument provided.

From the tool's own definition: "'Emulate a specific device' — this triggers browser automation engine state changes (device emulation mode, user agent, viewport, touch simulation) whose effects depend on which device string is passed."

## Use case

AI agents invoke wavexis_emulate_device to trigger actions in Wavexis. 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 Wavexis:

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