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

## Why update_flow_node is rated Medium

This tool modifies flow node properties (position, type, bot association) within the instantKOM messenger platform. These are reversible write operations that change state but do not delete data or trigger irreversible external actions. Severity is medium because misconfiguration of flow nodes could disrupt messaging workflows and customer communication, but the change is modifiable.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update node position, type, or associated bot' - explicitly an update operation that modifies existing flow configuration data."

## Use case

AI agents use update_flow_node 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.
