RISK

Why neuron_update_whatsapp_credentials is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies sensitive organizational credentials (API keys/tokens) used to authenticate with WhatsApp's Cloud API. While reversible (credentials can be updated again), the modification is significant because compromised or incorrect credentials could disrupt messaging service, enable unauthorized API usage, or lock out legitimate access.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update WhatsApp Business API credentials' — this modifies configuration data (credentials) that is required for platform operation.
