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

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

## Why Unzip_File is rated High

Unzipping a file triggers an external operation that creates multiple files/folders at the destination, potentially overwriting existing content. This is more than a simple write—it executes an extraction process whose effects depend on the ZIP archive contents (could overwrite files, create arbitrary directory structures, or expand to large amounts of data), making Execute the appropriate category.

From the tool's own definition: "Extract a ZIP file to a destination folder"

## Use case

AI agents invoke Unzip_File to trigger actions in Files Com. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "Unzip_File": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "unzip_file_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
