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

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

## Why update_compose is rated Medium

This tool modifies Docker Compose configurations, which controls container deployments and infrastructure. While reversible (thus Write not Destructive), the impact is high because misconfigured compose updates could disrupt services, expose sensitive data in environment variables, or compromise system security.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_compose' combined with server context indicating Docker container and application deployment management. 'Update' is a reversible modification operation on compose configurations (typically YAML files defining container orchestration)."

## Use case

AI agents use update_compose to create or update resources in 1Panel MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your 1Panel MCP Server environment.
