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

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

## Why cancelOperation is rated High

Cancelling an operation triggers an active intervention against a running process, which is an external operation with side effects beyond simple data retrieval or modification. It is not purely destructive (data is not deleted) nor a write (no data is created/modified), but it executes a control action that changes the state of an ongoing process.

From the tool's own definition: "'Cancel running operation' and 'Gracefully stops operation at next checkpoint'"

## Use case

AI agents invoke cancelOperation to trigger actions in Social Media Search API — Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok (XPOZ). What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Social Media Search API — Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok (XPOZ):

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cancelOperation": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "canceloperation_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
