## Why update_file is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly, fitting the Write category. It's not Destructive (doesn't permanently delete), Execute (doesn't run arbitrary code), or Read (actively changes state). Severity is medium because file updates in an e-commerce context could affect product listings, configurations, or customer-facing content, but the impact is generally reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_file' with description 'Update a file' indicates modification of existing data. Context as a Shopify Admin API tool suggests files likely relate to product images, documents, or store assets."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches EasyBits:
