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

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

    "name": "create_board",
    "arguments": {}
  }

## Why create_board is rated Medium

This tool creates a new kanban board structure with configurable properties. Creation of data structures is a Write operation. The severity is low because the action is reversible (the board can be deleted or reconfigured), affects only local task management state, and has no blast radius beyond the task management system itself. There is no evidence of destructive, financial, or execute-class capabilities.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Create a local task or plan kanban board' - the verb 'create' indicates data creation."

## Use case

AI agents use create_board 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": {
    "create_board": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_board_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
