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

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

## Why file_storage is rated Medium

While the tool supports both read and write operations, the write capability to persistent storage is the dominant concern. This is categorized as Write rather than Read because persistence across sessions means modifications are irreversible in practical terms without additional deletion tools. It is not Destructive because the description does not indicate deletion/purging capability.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Read or write persistent file storage across sessions (KV-backed).' The 'write' capability combined with 'persistent' storage that spans sessions indicates the tool modifies data that persists beyond a single interaction."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
