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

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

## Why create_drive is rated Medium

This tool creates a new persistent storage resource ('private drive') for the agent. Creation is reversible (the sibling tool 'drive_delete_file' and 'delete_site' suggest deletion capabilities exist), so it is Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'create_drive' and description states it will 'Create a new private drive' – a creation action that modifies the agent's state by adding a new storage resource."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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