## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why bulk_update_application_envs is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies application environment variables in bulk, which is a reversible change to application state. While environment variables can critically affect application behavior (including secrets, API keys, database credentials), the operation itself is reversible—values can be updated again or restored. This makes it Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'bulk_update_application_envs' and description 'Bulk update environment variables for an application' indicate modification of application configuration data."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
