What update-media-object does on GoHighLevel MCP Server
AI agents use update-media-object 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.
Why update-media-object is rated Medium
This tool modifies media files or folders reversibly. While updates can change or overwrite file contents, the operation is not inherently destructive (the original resource is not deleted) and does not involve financial transactions or code execution. In a GoHighLevel business management context, unintended media modifications could impact business communications or marketing assets, warranting medium severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'update-media-object' combined with description 'Updates a single file or folder by ID' indicates modification of existing data without deletion.
