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

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

## Why dynadot_set_ns is rated Medium

This tool modifies (writes to) the nameserver configuration of a domain, which is a reversible change. While it doesn't create or delete data, it updates critical DNS infrastructure settings. The severity is high because misconfiguration could redirect domain traffic, disrupt services, or enable phishing attacks, but the change is reversible by updating nameservers again.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Set the nameservers for a domain', which is a modification operation that changes DNS configuration for an existing domain."

## Use case

AI agents use dynadot_set_ns 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.
