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

## Why set_blocked_ip_addresses is rated Medium

This tool modifies hosting package security settings by updating blocked IP address lists. While reversible (IPs can be unblocked later), it is a Write operation that changes configuration state. Severity is medium because misuse could block legitimate traffic and cause service disruption, but does not irreversibly delete data, execute arbitrary code, or move funds.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'set_blocked_ip_addresses' and description 'Set blocked IP addresses for a hosting package' indicate modification of security firewall rules. The word 'set' implies updating/modifying configuration data."

## Use case

AI agents use set_blocked_ip_addresses to create or update resources in 20i MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 20i MCP Server environment.
