## Why update-group is rated Medium

The 'update' verb classifies this as Write rather than Read (retrieves only) or Destructive (irreversible deletion). While AdsPower groups may control browser fingerprints and proxy settings, updates to group metadata or configuration are typically reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update-group' indicates modification of group configuration or properties. Description is empty, limiting direct evidence, but the naming pattern and context alongside sibling tools like 'create-group', 'create-browser', and 'create-proxy' suggests…"

## Use case

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