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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "admin_create_user",

## Why admin_create_user is rated Medium

This tool creates new user accounts in the Forgejo/Gitea instance. While this is reversible (users can be deleted), it is a significant Write operation that modifies system state by adding authenticated principals to the system. The requirement for admin privileges and the potential for creating unauthorized or malicious accounts elevates severity to 'high'.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description: 'Create a new user (requires admin privileges)'. The tool creates a new user account, which is a data modification operation that requires administrative privileges."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

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