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

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

## Why update_goal is rated Medium

This tool modifies goal information within the FlowDot platform. Since updates are reversible (goals can be updated again or reverted), it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Severity is medium because unauthorized goal updates could disrupt workflow management and project planning, but the impact is limited to a single goal record and reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_goal' and description 'Update a goal' indicate modification of existing goal data. The verb 'update' is explicitly listed as a Write operation (reversible data modification)."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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