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

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

## Why modify_position is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing trading position parameters (stop loss and take profit levels). While it doesn't directly move money or execute new trades, altering stop loss/take profit levels on live positions can have significant financial consequences — e.g., removing a stop loss could expose a position to unlimited losses.

From the tool's own definition: "Modify stop loss and/or take profit of a position"

## Use case

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