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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why add_work_item_to_cycle is rated Medium

This tool modifies relationships between entities (work items and cycles) by creating an association. It is a write operation because it creates or updates data in a reversible manner—work items can be removed from cycles. While it affects project management state, the blast radius is limited to workflow organization rather than data destruction or code execution.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'add_work_item_to_cycle' and description 'Add work items to a cycle' indicate a modification operation that associates existing work items with a cycle, which is a reversible state change."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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