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

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

## Why invoke_tool is rated High

This is a meta-tool that allows execution of any tool exposed by the WebCake server. Given the sibling tools include destructive operations (delete, purge patterns likely exist), financial operations (orders, subscriptions), and write operations (page CRUD, product management), and this tool bypasses the native loading constraint, it represents a critical Execute risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Run any WebCake tool by exact name with its arguments' — this is a generic execution wrapper that permits invoking arbitrary tools on the server without native loading constraints."

## Use case

AI agents invoke invoke_tool to trigger actions in Webcake Storefront. 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 Webcake Storefront:

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