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

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

## Why notify_slack is rated Medium

Posting a message is a Write action: it creates new data (the message) in an external system (Slack) that can be modified or deleted later. The blast radius is medium because an AI agent could spam channels, post misleading information, or impersonate the user through message posting, but the damage is reversible and contained to Slack notifications rather than data deletion or financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'notify_slack' and description 'Post a message to THIS project' indicate creation of a new message artifact in Slack, which is a reversible write operation."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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