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

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

## Why create_structural_framing is rated Medium

This tool creates structural framing elements in a Revit model, which modifies the building information model. This is a Write operation because structural framing creation is reversible (elements can be deleted). Severity is high because incorrect structural framing placement could compromise design integrity and require significant rework, though the effect depends on how an AI agent uses the tool's parameters.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_structural_framing' indicates creation of structural building elements. Sibling tools like 'create_detail_line', 'create_dimensions', 'create_duct', 'create_grid', 'create_level' all perform Write operations (creating/modifying BIM model…"

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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