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

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

## Why lib_add_symbol_arc is rated Medium

This tool adds a geometric element (arc) to a symbol library, which is a reversible modification of design data. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or move financial resources. The write category is most appropriate. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt library symbols affecting designs, but the scope is limited to library modifications rather than active designs or financial systems.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'lib_add_symbol_arc' indicates creation/addition of an arc element to a library symbol. The 'add_' prefix suggests a write operation that creates or modifies library content."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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