  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

## Why uploadPdfWithSplit is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (PDF file upload) and optionally modifies it through chunking/splitting. File uploads are write operations with medium severity because they consume storage resources and can overwrite existing files if naming conflicts occur, but the operation is reversible (files can be deleted). The blast radius is contained to the user's Drive storage unless permissions allow broader access.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'uploadPdf' and description 'Upload PDF' indicate file creation/modification. The 'WithSplit' suffix suggests processing that transforms the uploaded file into chunked parts, which is a reversible modification rather than deletion."

## Use case

AI agents use uploadPdfWithSplit 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)

    "uploadPdfWithSplit": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
