## Why crm_update_company is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies company data in HubSpot's CRM system. This is a classic Write operation: it changes existing records but does not delete them (reversible). Severity is medium because unauthorized company record updates could disrupt business operations, sales pipelines, and data integrity, but the blast radius is limited to a single company record unless batch operations are chained.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update an existing company with validated properties' — this modifies data reversibly without deletion."

## Use case

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