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

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

## Why create_kubernetes_node_pool is rated Medium

This tool creates new cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes nodes) which is a reversible Write operation. While it provisions resources that incur costs and has broad infrastructure implications, it does not permanently delete data or execute arbitrary code—it instantiates new managed resources that can be later deleted or modified.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_kubernetes_node_pool' and description 'Create a new node pool in a Kubernetes cluster' explicitly perform a create operation that adds new infrastructure resources."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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