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

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

## Why create_dyad is rated Medium

This tool creates a new relational entity in the system, which is a reversible Write operation. While it establishes a connection between agents/partners and persists state, the operation itself is not destructive and can presumably be modified or undone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Form a named relational unit' and 'Returns a dyad_id', indicating creation of a new data structure with persistent state ('own memory, rituals, and state')."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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