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

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

## Why create_association is rated Medium

This tool creates new associations/relationships between document classes in a project management system. It is reversible (associations can be removed/modified) and has no permanent data deletion or financial impact. While it modifies system structure, the idempotent nature and use context (project management associations) classify it as Write rather than Execute.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Create a new Huly Association between two document classes' and is explicitly idempotent, meaning it creates or returns existing associations without destructive behavior."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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