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

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

## Why update_poll is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies poll data reversibly. While it affects engagement features on the instantKOM platform, it does not delete data (which would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or involve financial transactions (Financial).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_poll' and description 'Update an existing poll' indicate modification of existing data without deletion or irreversible changes."

## Use case

AI agents use update_poll 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
