WHAT IT DOES

What update_prospect does on Max MCP Server

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

RISK

Why update_prospect is rated Medium

This tool modifies prospect records reversibly. It falls under Write category rather than Read (retrieves data) or Destructive (irreversibly deletes). The severity is medium because updating prospect data in a sales context could affect business operations or data integrity, but the change is non-destructive and can typically be reverted.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'update_prospect' and description states 'Update a prospect', indicating modification of existing data without deletion or irreversibility.

update_prospect Rate-limited

update_prospect stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
