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

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

## Why update_resource_count is rated Medium

This tool modifies resource usage counts in a CloudStack infrastructure system. While not destructive (data can be recalculated), it writes/modifies state that affects billing, quotas, and resource allocation decisions. The high severity reflects potential for disruption if counts are incorrectly updated—affecting VM provisioning limits, quota enforcement, and billing accuracy.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_resource_count' and description 'Recalculate and update resource usage counts' indicate modification of resource tracking data. The verb 'update' is explicitly used, confirming data alteration."

## Use case

AI agents use update_resource_count 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": {
    "update_resource_count": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_resource_count_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`
