# asc_patch_version_experiment

⚠️ started=true is CUSTOMER-FACING: PATCH /v2/appStoreVersionExperiments/{id} with started=true begins serving treatment pages to real App Store traffic (requires state APPROVED). Also mutates name and trafficProportion while still in PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION. Wire-key gotcha pinned by tests: the start flag is

## Why asc_patch_version_experiment is rated High

This tool triggers an external, customer-facing operation that affects live App Store traffic by starting an experiment — this is an Execute action with critical blast radius since misuse could expose unapproved or unintended content to real users at scale. It also mutates name and trafficProportion, adding Write behavior, but the live traffic impact makes Execute the dominant concern.

From the tool's own definition: "started=true begins serving treatment pages to real App Store traffic (requires state APPROVED)... CUSTOMER-FACING"

## Use case

AI agents invoke asc_patch_version_experiment to trigger actions in Appstoreconnect Mcp. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
