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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "todo_add",
    "arguments": {}

## Why todo_add is rated Medium

This tool creates or appends a new task entry, which is a reversible write operation. It has minimal blast radius—a misused agent could add spurious tasks, but this causes no financial harm, data destruction, or system compromise. The operation is easily reversible through deletion or list management.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'todo_add' and description 'Add a task to the todo list' indicate creation of a new data record in a todo list system."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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