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

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

## Why saveCodebase is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies files by writing codebase data to disk. This is a reversible Write operation—the file can be deleted or overwritten. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'saveCodebase' and description 'Save the codebase to a file' indicate file creation/modification. The tool writes codebase content to a file using RepoMix."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "saveCodebase": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "savecodebase_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
