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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "bulk_update_status",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why bulk_update_status is rated Medium

The tool performs reversible state modifications (status changes, archiving) on potentially many records at once. While not destructive (changes can be undone by changing status again), the high-confidence bulk operation across multiple business entities (invoices, projects) creates significant risk if an AI agent misapplies it with incorrect criteria.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Batch status change on multiple entities (e.g., archive completed projects, mark invoices sent)' — this modifies data in bulk across multiple records without deletion."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Businys:

```json
