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

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

## Why dynadot_set_default_dns is rated Medium

This tool modifies DNS records, which is a reversible data change operation. While DNS modifications can have serious operational impact (routing traffic, email delivery, etc.), they can be reverted by updating the records again. This qualifies as Write rather than Execute because it modifies data directly rather than triggering code execution.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Set default DNS records for new domains', indicating modification of DNS configuration."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

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