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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "custom_merge_leads",
    "arguments": {}

## Why custom_merge_leads is rated Medium

Merging leads modifies existing data records (combining two lead entities into one), which is a Write action rather than Destructive since the data itself is retained, not irreversibly deleted. However, it affects critical CRM data (lead records), giving it high severity due to potential impact on marketing automation workflows and customer data integrity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Calls the Marketo REST API directly' for a 'custom_merge_leads' operation. 'Merge' indicates combining/modifying lead records, which is a reversible write operation on customer data in a CRM system."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
