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

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

## Why user_update is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies user account data reversibly. While it could affect system access if credentials or permissions are changed, the modification is not permanent destruction and can be undone by updating the account again. The blast radius is constrained to a single user account unless the account modified is critical (e.g., administrator), hence 'medium' severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'user_update' and description 'Update an existing user account. All fields are optional — only provide the ones you want to change.' directly indicates modification of user account data."

## Use case

AI agents use user_update 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

  "tools": {
    "user_update": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "user_update_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
