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

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

## Why reset_user_password is rated Medium

Password resets are Write operations (they modify credentials), but the severity is high because admin-level password resets could be misused to take over user accounts, enabling unauthorized access to infrastructure. It is not Destructive because the action is reversible (another reset can be performed), but the blast radius of credential compromise in a cloud infrastructure platform is significant.

From the tool's own definition: "'Admin password reset capability for users' - resets user passwords"

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
