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

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

## Why pg_citext_create_extension is rated Medium

Installing a database extension is a Write operation: it modifies the database schema and introduces new functionality, but the action is reversible (the extension can be dropped). This is more severe than Read (no side effects) but less severe than Destructive (irreversible deletion).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Enable the citext extension' — this creates or modifies database schema by installing a PostgreSQL extension, which is a reversible structural change."

## Use case

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