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

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

## Why create_task is rated Medium

This tool creates a new task, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The severity is medium because misuse could clutter task lists or create misleading/false tasks that could influence workflow decisions, but the impact is limited to task data and can be undone by deletion. Confidence is high given the clear intent of the tool name and description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_task' and description 'Create a new task in a task list' explicitly indicate creation of new data in Google Tasks."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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