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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "copy-document-type",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why copy-document-type is rated Medium

The tool creates new data (a copied document type) rather than merely reading, executing arbitrary code, destructively deleting, or moving funds. Copying is reversible (the copy can be deleted). It falls under Write category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Copy a document type to a new location. Returns the new document type' — this creates a new entity (document type) by duplicating an existing one, which is a reversible write operation."

## Use case

AI agents use copy-document-type to create or update resources in Mcp Dev, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Dev environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "copy-document-type": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "copy-document-type_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
