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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "blockUsersDms",

## Why blockUsersDms is rated Medium

This tool modifies a relationship/permission state by blocking a user from sending DMs. It is reversible (users can be unblocked), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could affect user communications and relationships.

From the tool's own definition: "Block a user from sending direct messages to the authenticated user"

## Use case

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