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

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

```

## Why approve_symphony_token is rated Medium

This tool modifies blockchain state by setting a token approval/allowance, which is a Write operation. While reversible (allowances can be reset), it carries high severity because it grants spending authority that could enable subsequent unauthorized token transfers if an AI agent is compromised or misled into approving excessive amounts.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool 'approves the Symphony protocol to spend a specific token' — this is a write operation that modifies on-chain token allowance state."

## Use case

AI agents use approve_symphony_token to create or update resources in SEI MCP Server V2, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SEI MCP Server V2 environment.
