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

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

## Why bazel_macos_test is rated High

This tool executes test code on the macOS platform via Bazel. Running tests executes arbitrary code (the test targets and their dependencies), which can have side effects depending on what the tests do. The blast radius is high because arbitrary code execution could affect the local system, file system, or external services.

From the tool's own definition: "Run a Bazel macOS unit test target (macos_unit_test)"

## Use case

AI agents invoke bazel_macos_test 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_macos_test": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "bazel_macos_test_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
