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

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

## Why create_coupling_map_tool is rated Medium

Coupling maps define qubit connectivity in quantum processors and are used as configuration inputs for transpilation. Creating one modifies transpiler state or configuration reversibly (it can be replaced or deleted). This does not execute arbitrary quantum operations (would be Execute), nor does it permanently destroy data (would be Destructive). The action is fundamentally generative, not destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_coupling_map_tool' indicates creation of a coupling map object, which is a data structure used in quantum circuit transpilation."

## Use case

AI agents use create_coupling_map_tool to create or update resources in Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Qiskit IBM Transpiler MCP Server environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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