  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why update_pull_request is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies PR data without permanent deletion or code execution. It falls under Write category as changes are reversible. Severity is high because modifying PRs could mislead reviewers, alter project history representation, or manipulate CI/CD workflows if PR metadata triggers automated actions. The tool is on a code repository server, increasing potential impact on team workflows.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'update_pull_request' with description 'Edit pull request'. The 'Edit' operation modifies PR metadata, description, title, labels, reviewers, or other attributes reversibly."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
