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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why dataset_set_permissions is rated Medium

This tool modifies permissions on a dataset, which is a reversible write operation. While permission changes can have serious security implications (potentially granting or revoking access), the operation itself is not destructive (permissions can be changed again) and does not delete or irreversibly alter data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'dataset_set_permissions' and description 'Set UNIX permissions on a dataset' indicate modification of dataset access control metadata."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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