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

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

## Why move_card is rated Medium

This tool modifies card metadata (its list/board location) but does not delete, destroy, or create new cards—the operation is reversible by moving the card back. It does not execute arbitrary code, query data without side effects, or involve financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'move_card' and description 'Move a card to a different list, potentially on a different board' indicate modification of card state/position."

## Use case

AI agents use move_card 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

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "move_card": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "move_card_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
