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

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

## Why archive_conversation is rated Medium

Archiving typically involves moving or marking data as inactive/archived rather than deleting it, making it a Write operation (reversible modification). It has medium severity because archiving conversations could hide audit trails or historical context important to governance, and misuse could obstruct compliance or memory integrity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'archive_conversation' indicates a write operation that modifies conversation state/storage by archiving (changing accessibility or organization of data)."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "archive_conversation": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "archive_conversation_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
