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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "update_issue",
    "arguments": {}

## Why update_issue is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly. It updates issue fields without deleting or destroying data, and the changes can be undone (typical for project management systems). The scope is limited to a single issue's fields. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt project data or workflow states, but effects are reversible and scoped to metadata rather than financial or destructive operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update fields on an existing Huly issue. Only provided fields are modified.' The verb 'update' and the explicit statement that it modifies fields on an existing resource confirm write capability."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
