  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why update_account is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies account data reversibly, fitting the Write category. Severity is medium because account modifications could affect user access, settings, or configurations, but the impact is limited to one account and reversible. Confidence is 0.85 because the description is terse and doesn't detail what fields can be modified or access controls, which could affect the severity assessment.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'update_account' with description 'Update account information'. The verb 'update' indicates modification of existing data in a reversible manner. The scope is account-level settings/information rather than deletion or financial transactions."

## Use case

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