## Why notes_update is rated Medium

The tool modifies existing note records in HubSpot CRM, making it a Write operation. It is not Destructive because updates are reversible. Severity is medium because a compromised AI agent could alter notes that impact business processes, customer records, or deal management, but the impact is limited to modification rather than deletion or financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'notes_update' and description 'Update an existing note' indicate modification of existing data in HubSpot CRM. The 'update' operation is reversible (data can be reverted to previous state) and does not delete or create new records."

## Use case

AI agents use notes_update 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.
