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

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

## Why stateset_create_checkout is rated Medium

This tool creates and modifies checkout session data, which is a Write operation. While payment methods are specified, the tool itself does not execute the actual financial transaction (that would occur later in payment processing). However, it does create binding transactional state and is reversible via session cancellation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Initializes a checkout session from a cart. Specify shipping and payment methods."

## Use case

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