## Why update_user is rated Medium

This tool modifies user/team member records in the GoHighLevel CRM system. While reversible (can be changed again), it affects access controls, permissions, and team member configurations. The severity is high because unauthorized updates could grant adversarial access to team members, compromise account security, or disrupt team operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'update_user' and description states 'Update an existing user/team member' — clearly a data modification operation that creates or modifies records reversibly."

## Use case

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