It affects email templates used in GoHighLevel, potentially impacting customer communications at scale, warranting medium severity. Confidence is high because the description explicitly states 'Update' and the reversible nature of template modifications is clear. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_email_template' and description 'Update an existing email template' indicate modification of data. The action is reversible—templates can be edited, restored, or reverted to previous versions." Risk signals: Accepts raw HTML/template content (html) ## Use case AI agents use update_email_template to create or update resources in Ghl, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context.
