## Why cdp_update_dispatch is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing dispatch configurations reversibly (updates, not deletes). Updates can be undone or corrected, placing it in the Write category rather than Destructive. Severity is high because misconfigured dispatch definitions could cause unintended mass communications, trigger incorrect workflows, or disrupt critical CDP operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'cdp_update_dispatch' and description 'Update a dispatch definition' indicates modification of existing data. The phrase 'Pass updated fields as a JSON string' confirms this writes/modifies configuration."

## Use case

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