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

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

## Why stop_database is rated High

Stopping a database is an execute-class action as it triggers an external operation (database shutdown) whose effect depends on which database is targeted. While not destructive (data is preserved and the action is reversible by restarting), it interrupts service availability and can cause significant operational disruption.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'stop_database' directly indicates stopping/terminating a database service. This is an operational action that interrupts service availability."

## Use case

AI agents invoke stop_database to trigger actions in Coolify. 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 Coolify:

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