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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why generate_print_certificate is rated Medium

Generating certificates creates new data that could be stored or transmitted, making this a Write operation. Severity is medium because misuse could create fraudulent certificates (e.g., falsifying print job records or device credentials), but the blast radius is limited compared to financial or destructive operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'generate_print_certificate' suggests creation of a document or credential. The empty description prevents direct confirmation, but the verb 'generate' implies producing new data."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

  "tools": {
    "generate_print_certificate": {
      "limits": [
        {

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