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

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

## Why Move is rated Medium

The Move tool operates on the Windows operating system and likely performs file or window relocation operations. This is a reversible modification (Write category) rather than destructive, as moved items can be moved back. Severity is medium because incorrect moves could displace important files or UI elements, but effects are not permanent or irreversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool named 'Move' on Windows-MCP server alongside file system manipulation tools (FileSystem, MultiEdit). Move typically relocates files or windows within the OS, modifying state reversibly."

## Use case

AI agents use Move to create or update resources in Windows-MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Windows-MCP environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Windows-MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "Move": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "move_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
