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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "add_item",
    "arguments": {}

## Why add_item is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (a todo list item) but the operation is reversible (items can be deleted or modified later). It has no destructive, financial, or code execution effects. The blast radius is minimal—a misused tool would only add unwanted items to a todo list, which can be easily cleaned up. This is a standard Write operation.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description explicitly states it 'Add[s] a new item to a todo list' via the `todo.add_item` service, which is a create operation that modifies data (the todo list) in a reversible manner."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
