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

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

## Why update_ip_address is rated Medium

This tool modifies IP address assignments, which are critical network infrastructure components. While reversible (can be updated again), unauthorized changes could disrupt service availability or redirect traffic maliciously. The blast radius is high in cloud infrastructure context, but not destructive (data not deleted/unrecoverable) or financial.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_ip_address' and description 'Update IP address information' indicate modification of network configuration. The 'update' verb signals reversible write operation."

## Use case

AI agents use update_ip_address 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

## 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`
