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

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

}
```

## Why pcb_create_nets_from_list is rated Medium

This tool creates new nets in a PCB design, which is a write operation that modifies design state. While nets can typically be deleted or modified later (making it reversible), incorrect net creation could cause significant design problems requiring manual repair.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'pcb_create_nets_from_list' indicates creation of PCB nets (electrical connections). The verb 'create' signifies a write operation that modifies design data."

## Use case

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