## Why cdp_update_password is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies authentication data (password) reversibly—a user can update their password again if needed. While password changes are sensitive and could impact access control, the action itself is not destructive (the old password isn't permanently erased from recovery mechanisms) and doesn't move money or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'cdp_update_password' combined with HTTP POST method to '/authentication/reset?action=update' endpoint indicates modification of authentication credentials."

## Use case

AI agents use cdp_update_password 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.
