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

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

## Why create_bot is rated Medium

This tool creates new trading bot configurations, which is a write operation (reversible creation of data/resources). However, because bots can execute trades on real financial accounts once activated, and misconfiguration could lead to unintended trading activity or financial losses, the severity is elevated to 'high' rather than 'medium'.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_bot' and description 'Create a new trading bot/strategy' indicate creation of a new trading configuration."

## Use case

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