This tool updates the status of an order to 'declined', which is a write operation modifying order state. While it affects financial transactions, it does not move money or commit financial obligations — it reports a decline, preventing a transaction rather than executing one. The severity is medium because misuse could incorrectly mark valid orders as declined, disrupting commerce flows.

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "report_order_declined": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "report_order_declined_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
