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

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why update_task_status is rated Medium

The tool appears to create or modify task metadata (status field) within the personal knowledge base. This is a reversible Write operation—task status can be changed back. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt task tracking or create misleading project state, but the blast radius is limited to the user's personal vault.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_task_status' indicates modification of task state; context shows this is part of an Obsidian vault knowledge management system where tasks are tracked. The description is empty, limiting specificity."

## Use case

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