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

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

## Why label-create is rated Medium

This tool creates (writes) new repository labels, which is a reversible operation—labels can be deleted or modified later. It does not retrieve data (Read), execute arbitrary code (Execute), permanently delete data (Destructive), or move money (Financial).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'label-create' and description 'Creates a new repository label' indicate a create/modify operation that adds a new label resource to a repository."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "label-create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "label-create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
