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

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

## Why node_add_to_group is rated Medium

This tool modifies group membership by adding a node, which is a state change. The explicit mention of 'undoable' confirms the change is reversible, placing it in Write rather than Destructive. The medium severity reflects that group modifications affect node organization and potentially behavior, but the impact is contained and reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Add a node to a group (persistent, undoable)'. The 'persistent' and 'undoable' qualifiers indicate this creates/modifies state in a reversible manner, characteristic of Write operations."

Risk signals: Accepts file system path (path)

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

    "node_add_to_group": {
      "limits": [
        {
