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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "save_search_view",
    "arguments": {}

## Why save_search_view is rated Medium

This tool persists a search view (a reversible configuration/preference), which is a Write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or read sensitive data in bulk — it merely saves a filtered view definition. Severity is low because the blast radius of an AI misusing this is limited to creating unwanted saved searches, which are trivial to clean up.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'save' and description states 'Save a local search view' — creates or stores a search view configuration locally without deleting or modifying existing tasks/data."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

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