## Why update_task is rated Medium

This tool modifies task data within Nextcloud's task management system. The action is reversible (tasks can be updated again or reverted), and there is no deletion, destruction, or financial impact. It falls squarely into the Write category. Severity is medium because unauthorized updates to tasks could disrupt workflow or cause confusion, but the effect is not catastrophic and the action is reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_task' and description 'Update an existing task' indicate modification of existing data in a reversible manner."

## Use case

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