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

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

## Why update_project_uids is rated Medium

The tool updates and rewrites resource UIDs in a Godot project, which constitutes data modification. While the operation could theoretically corrupt UIDs if misapplied (making it potentially destructive), the stated purpose is to update references during a normal maintenance operation (resaving resources). This is reversible via version control, distinguishing it from Destructive category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update UID references in a Godot project by resaving resources' — this modifies project files (UIDs) through a resave operation, which is reversible through version control or undoing the resave."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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