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

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

## Why ruvector_update is rated Medium

The tool updates vector data and metadata, which is a write operation that creates or modifies data in a reversible manner. In the context of a hive-mind AI orchestration system, vectors likely represent learned embeddings or agent states.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update an existing vector and/or its metadata' — this modifies data reversibly without deletion or irreversible consequences."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",

  "tools": {
    "ruvector_update": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ruvector_update_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
