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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

    "name": "send_estimate",
    "arguments": {

## Why send_estimate is rated Medium

Sending an estimate is a reversible write operation that creates or modifies data (estimate status, delivery log, customer communication history) without permanently destroying data or executing arbitrary code. While it has business significance, it lacks the irreversibility of Destructive actions and the financial commitment of a Financial transaction (estimates are proposals, not executed payments).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'send_estimate' and description 'Send an estimate to customer' indicate creation and transmission of a business document to an external party. This modifies state (estimate sent/delivered) and creates a record of the transaction."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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