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

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

## Why gcp_gke_set_maintenance_policy is rated Medium

This tool modifies GKE cluster maintenance policies, which affects how and when the cluster undergoes system updates and maintenance windows. While reversible (policies can be changed), this is not a Read operation (retrieves data) nor Destructive (irreversible deletion), nor Execute (arbitrary code execution on demand). It is a Write operation that changes cluster state configuration.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'set_maintenance_policy' and description 'Set maintenance policy for a cluster' indicate modification of cluster configuration."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "gcp_gke_set_maintenance_policy": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
