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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "Gpg_Encrypt_File",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why Gpg_Encrypt_File is rated Medium

This tool writes encrypted data to the filesystem by design. While encryption itself is a computational operation, the primary effect is persisting new encrypted file data to storage. This is reversible (the file can be deleted or overwritten later), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Encrypt a file with GPG and save it to a destination path.' The action of saving/writing encrypted content to a destination path constitutes data creation/modification."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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