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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "airtable_action",
    "arguments": {
      "action": "<action>",
      "access_token": "<access_token>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why airtable_action is rated Medium

The tool's primary risk comes from its ability to create and modify data in Airtable bases. An AI agent with access could create unwanted records or corrupt existing data, though such changes are reversible (records can be deleted or edited by authorized users). The blast radius is limited to data within connected Airtable workspaces.

From the tool's own definition: "Description states the tool can 'create or update records' in Airtable via REST API. While it also includes read operations ('list bases', 'list and search records', 'get a single record'), the presence of write capabilities (create/update) makes this a…"

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (access_token) · High parameter count (11 properties)

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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