  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why add_runbook is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies runbook notes, which are data artifacts. It falls under Write rather than Read (it modifies, not just retrieves), Execute (it doesn't run code or trigger external operations), or Destructive (the changes are reversible via updates).

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it will 'Add or update a runbook note' - these are reversible write operations that create or modify data (notes/runbooks) without deletion or irreversible consequences."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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