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

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

## Why bazel_daemon_stop is rated High

This tool executes a command to stop a background daemon process and clear associated metadata. While not destructive to user data (the daemon can be restarted), it triggers an external operation whose effects are immediate and irreversible until the daemon is restarted. This fits the Execute category: it runs a command that triggers external operations whose effects depend on context.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Stop the per-workspace background daemon and clear its tracked operation metadata.' The action of stopping a daemon and clearing its state represents executing a control operation that halts running processes and modifies system state."

## Use case

AI agents invoke bazel_daemon_stop to trigger actions in XcodeBazelMCP. 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 XcodeBazelMCP:

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