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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "brain_dump_tasks",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why brain_dump_tasks is rated Medium

Without a description, confidence is reduced (0.7) but the tool name and context of task-management siblings strongly suggest it creates or modifies task data. Write is the most appropriate category. Severity is medium because misuse could create unwanted or spam tasks, but these are reversible via delete_todo. If the tool permits batch task creation without proper validation, blast radius is moderate.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'brain_dump_tasks' with an empty description. Given the sibling tools (add_task_context, add_todo, complete_todo, delete_todo), this server manages user tasks and todos."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
