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

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

## Why add_environment_promotion is rated Medium

Environment promotion configurations are write operations that create or modify deployment rules. While not destructive (reversible), and not executing arbitrary code, they enable automated deployments across environments. Misuse could promote untested code to production, causing service outages or data exposure.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'add_environment_promotion' suggests creating or modifying deployment environment configurations."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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