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

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "duplicateSlide",

## Why duplicateSlide is rated Medium

This tool creates a new slide by copying an existing one, which is a reversible write operation. The duplicate can be deleted, and the original remains unchanged. There is no data destruction, no code execution, no financial impact, and no external system manipulation. The blast radius is minimal—an agent misusing this tool could create unwanted slide copies, but these can be easily undone.

From the tool's own definition: "duplicateSlide duplicates a slide in a presentation, creating a new copy of existing content"

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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