Why set_capacity_profile is rated Medium
This tool creates or updates a capacity profile, which is a data modification operation. It's reversible (can be updated again or deleted), so it doesn't fall into Destructive. It doesn't execute external commands, access financial systems, or merely read data. Write is the appropriate category.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create or update' which are Write operations. The function modifies local configuration (capacity profile) reversibly.

The rule that runs set_capacity_profile safely

set_capacity_profile stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Todos, apply this rule, and every set_capacity_profile call is checked against it from then on.
