## Why seafile_rename is rated Medium

Renaming is a reversible modification of file/directory metadata that does not permanently delete data or execute arbitrary code. It alters state but can be undone, classifying it as Write rather than Read or Destructive. Severity is medium because renaming files could disrupt workflows or cause confusion if misapplied, but the impact is recoverable.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'seafile_rename' combined with server capability to 'moving' files and directories; sibling tools include destructive operations (seafile_delete) and write operations (seafile_create_directory, seafile_move), placing this tool in a mutable data…"

## Use case

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