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

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

## Why network_config_update is rated Medium

This tool modifies network configuration at a global system level, which is reversible (Write category) but has high severity because misconfiguration of network settings could cause system connectivity loss, service unavailability, or security issues. The optional fields design suggests flexibility but increases risk of unintended changes. Not Destructive since updates are typically reversible via reconfiguration.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'network_config_update' with description stating it updates global network configuration. Uses 'update' verb indicating modification of existing configuration data."

## Use case

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