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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "aos8_write",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why aos8_write is rated Medium

The name 'aos8_write' strongly implies writing/modifying configuration or data on AOS8 network infrastructure. Given the sibling tools context (device migration, SSID management, switch provisioning), this likely writes configuration to network devices, which is high severity due to potential network disruption. However, the empty description significantly lowers confidence.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'aos8_write' suggests a write operation targeting AOS8 (Aruba Operating System 8) network devices; description is empty and uninformative."

## Use case

AI agents use aos8_write to create or update resources in API-Central, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your API-Central environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "aos8_write": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "aos8_write_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
