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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "update_message_status",
    "arguments": {}

## Why update_message_status is rated Medium

The tool modifies message status (likely marking as read, delivered, failed, etc.) which is a reversible state change. It does not delete, execute code, transfer funds, or trigger external operations. The severity is medium because misconfigured status updates could affect message workflows and business operations, but the change is not destructive or irreversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_message_status' and description 'Update the delivery status of a message' indicate modification of existing message metadata. This is a write operation that changes state reversibly."

## Use case

AI agents use update_message_status 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.
