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

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

## Why updateMessengerWithId is rated Medium

The tool modifies existing messenger data by updating a resource identified by its ID. This is a reversible change (Write category) rather than deletion. High severity is appropriate because misconfigured messengers in an auth system could disrupt communication channels, affect user notifications, or impact account recovery flows.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Updates the messenger with the given Id' — a modification operation on messenger configuration."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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