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

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

## Why bulk_create_tasks is rated Medium

This tool creates new task records in bulk, which is a reversible write operation. While it could potentially flood the system with many tasks if misused by an agent, the effects are not destructive (tasks can be deleted) and not financial. The blast radius is moderate—an agent could create excessive tasks causing noise/confusion—justifying medium severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'bulk_create_tasks' and description 'Create multiple tasks at once from an array of task objects' indicate data creation."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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