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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "rotate_left",
    "arguments": {}

## Why rotate_left is rated Medium

Rotation is a metadata modification that can be undone by rotating back or using undo. It is reversible and non-destructive, placing it in the Write category rather than Execute or Destructive. Severity is medium because an agent rotating large batches of photos without user intent could cause workflows to require correction, but the changes are easily undone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Rotate selected photos 90 degrees left', which modifies photo metadata (orientation/transform state) in a reversible manner."

## Use case

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