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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "send_mail",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why send_mail is rated Medium

This tool creates new email messages and sends them, which is a reversible write operation (emails can be unsent in some contexts, but typically constitute committed communication). While emails can cause harm if misused by an AI agent (spam, phishing, impersonation), the operation itself is Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Compose and send an email' — a write operation that creates and transmits messages."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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