## Why manage_roles is rated Medium

Role management typically involves creating, updating, or modifying user roles and permissions in a database system. This is a Write operation as it creates or modifies access control data reversibly. However, confidence is moderate (0.72) because the tool description is empty, leaving some ambiguity about exact scope.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'manage_roles' combined with server context describing 'comprehensive management of self-hosted or cloud Supabase instances' and 'authentication' capabilities indicates role creation/modification operations."

## Use case

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