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

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

## Why create_item is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (a Monday.com item/task) which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or move money. The severity is medium due to potential impact on project data and workflows if misused by an AI agent, but the effect is limited to a single item creation and is reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_item' combined with description 'Create Monday.com item' indicates creation of new data in Monday.com project management platform."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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