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

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

## Why merge_json is rated Medium

The tool combines JSON objects, resulting in a new or modified JSON structure. This is a reversible data modification operation (Write category). Severity is low because: (1) the operation is local to the provided JSON inputs with no persistence implied, (2) no destructive capability (data not deleted), (3) no external side effects or code execution, (4) no financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs JSON merge operation, which creates or modifies data. Description states 'Merge two JSON objects' indicating data transformation/modification."

## Use case

AI agents use merge_json 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
{
  "version": "1",

  "tools": {
    "merge_json": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "merge_json_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
