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

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

## Why create-user is rated Medium

This tool creates new user accounts, which is a reversible Write operation. While it modifies the authentication/user management system, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. The severity is medium because creating unauthorized users could compromise security and access controls, but the action can be undone by deleting the user account.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Create a new user in Descope project' — a creation action that modifies data by adding new user records to the system."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
