WHAT IT DOES

What update_company does on Twenty CRM MCP Server

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

RISK

Why update_company is rated Medium

The tool modifies existing company records but does not delete or destroy data (which would be Destructive), nor does it execute arbitrary code (Execute), nor move money (Financial). Updates are typically reversible in CRM systems—prior values can be restored through subsequent updates.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_company' and description 'Update an existing company' indicate modification of existing data in reversible manner. Sibling tools show a pattern of CRUD operations (create_*, delete_*), positioning this as the Write counterpart.
