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

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

## Why update_config_interface is rated Medium

This tool modifies network or system configuration interfaces, which are reversible changes but carry high severity due to potential for misconfiguration causing network outages or system accessibility issues. It fits the Write category as it creates/modifies data reversibly rather than executing arbitrary operations or destructively deleting resources.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_config_interface' and description 'Update an interface for a configuration profile' indicate modification of existing configuration data."

## Use case

AI agents use update_config_interface 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:

```json
