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

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

## Why create_custom_template is rated Medium

This tool creates new data artifacts (templates) within the system that can be reused for scenario deployment. Creation is reversible (templates can be deleted or modified), placing it in Write rather than Destructive. Severity is high because maliciously created templates could be deployed across multiple ranges, affecting many security testing scenarios.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_custom_template' combined with server context describing 'template creation' as a core capability. The tool enables creation of new templates within the Ludus cyber range platform."

## Use case

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