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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

## Why tasks_create is rated Medium

This tool creates a new task, which is a reversible write operation. The task can be modified or deleted later. The scope is limited to a personal to-do list with no financial impact, external execution, or destructive potential. Severity is low because misuse would only result in unwanted task entries that are easily removable.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'tasks_create' and description 'Create a new task in your to-do list' explicitly indicate creation of data."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

  "tools": {
    "tasks_create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "tasks_create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
