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

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

## Why import_contacts is rated Medium

Importing contacts creates or adds data to the system. This is a Write operation because it modifies the contact database by adding new records. The operation is reversible since imported contacts can be individually or bulk deleted.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it imports contacts, which creates new contact records in the system from an uploaded file. The action is reversible (contacts can be deleted), making it Write rather than Destructive."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
