RISK

Why update_social_post is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing social media content reversibly. It is a Write operation (not Read, as it changes data; not Destructive, as updates are reversible; not Execute/Financial/Other). Severity is medium because misuse could harm brand reputation or spread misinformation through modified posts, but the blast radius is limited to social media content for a single account.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_social_post' and description 'Update an existing social media post' indicate modification of existing data without deletion or financial impact.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_social_post safely

update_social_post Rate-limited

update_social_post 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.
