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

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

## Why create_network_service is rated Medium

This tool creates a new monitoring configuration on a server, which is a reversible write operation. It adds a network service/monitoring check that can be modified or deleted later. The severity is medium because misconfiguration could create unnecessary monitoring overhead, false alerts, or resource waste, but the action is not destructive and does not involve financial transactions or code execution.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_network_service' and description 'Create a new network service (monitoring check) on a server' explicitly state creation of a new resource in the monitoring system."

## Use case

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