## Why jira_transition_issue is rated Medium

Transitioning a Jira issue changes its workflow status (e.g., Open → In Progress → Done), modifying project data reversibly. This is a Write operation—it alters state but does not delete or execute arbitrary code. Severity is medium because misuse could disrupt project workflows, reassign work, or mark tasks complete prematurely, but changes are reversible and scoped to a single issue.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'jira_transition_issue' and description 'Transition a Jira issue to a new status' indicate modification of issue state/metadata."

## Use case

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