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

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

## Why add_comment is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (a comment) on a Trello card in a reversible manner. Comments can typically be edited or deleted later, making this a Write operation rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because while comment injection could spam or mislead users, it does not delete data, move money, or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name: add_comment. Description: 'Add the given text as a new comment to the given card.' The verb 'add' and the action of creating a new comment indicate data creation."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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