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

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

## Why filesystem_mkdir is rated Medium

Creating directories is a reversible write operation - the directory can be deleted later. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete existing data, move money, or perform reads. While filesystem modifications have moderate blast radius (could fill disk, create organizational issues, or affect system layout), this is a standard write operation rather than destructive or execute-class severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Create a new directory' which is a write operation that modifies the filesystem by creating new data/structure. The ability to set UNIX mode (permissions) adds a configuration dimension to the write operation."

## Use case

AI agents use filesystem_mkdir 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:

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