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

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

## Why rhino_save is rated Medium

This tool writes/persists data (a Rhino document) to disk, making it a Write operation. Severity is high because an AI agent could inadvertently overwrite important design files, save malformed geometry, or corrupt existing work. However, it's reversible (the old file might be recoverable, or users can undo changes), so it doesn't reach Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Write the document to disk' - this is a direct save/persist operation that modifies the filesystem."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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