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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

  "params": {
    "name": "snapshot_clone",

## Why snapshot_clone is rated Medium

Cloning a snapshot creates a new dataset from an existing snapshot. This is a Write operation as it creates new data/resources. It does not delete or overwrite existing data, and is reversible by deleting the cloned dataset. Severity is medium as it consumes storage resources and could be misused to create many large datasets.

From the tool's own definition: "Clone a snapshot into a new dataset"

## Use case

AI agents use snapshot_clone 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)

  "tools": {
    "snapshot_clone": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "snapshot_clone_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
