  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why install_template_library is rated Medium

This tool creates or populates template records in a local database. While installation is generally reversible and idempotent, it modifies local state and could introduce unwanted templates or overwrite existing configurations if triggered unexpectedly by an agent. This makes it Write rather than Execute (no arbitrary code/commands) or Destructive (idempotent nature suggests reversibility).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Install all bundled templates into local database' - the verb 'install' combined with 'into local database' indicates data creation/modification."

## Use case

AI agents use install_template_library 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": {
    "install_template_library": {
      "limits": [
        {

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
