## Why add_comment is rated Medium

This tool creates new content (a comment) in Codebeamer, which is a modification operation. Comments are reversible—they can be edited or removed—so it does not rise to Destructive. It does not execute arbitrary code or trigger external operations (Execute), nor does it involve financial transactions. The blast radius is limited to adding discussion content to a work item, making it medium severity rather than high.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Add a comment to a Codebeamer work item' — this creates new data (a comment) that is stored in the system and is reversible (comments can be edited or deleted)."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_comment": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_comment_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
