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

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

## Why update_files is rated Medium

The tool modifies file metadata, which is a Write operation—data is created or changed but reversibly. The severity is medium because unintended metadata updates could affect file organization, access controls, or integrity, but the operation is not destructive (files themselves are not deleted) and the server context includes financial operations (refunds, payments, charges) suggesting this may be a backend service…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'update_files' and description states 'Updates a metadata of the file.' This is a modification operation that changes file metadata reversibly."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

  "tools": {
    "update_files": {
      "limits": [
        {
