WHAT IT DOES

What transkribus_job_update does on Transkribus

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

RISK

Why transkribus_job_update is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies job properties in the Transkribus system. This is a reversible change (properties can be updated again), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is moderate because misconfigured job updates could disrupt document processing workflows, but changes are not permanent and can be corrected.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update properties of an existing job' — modifies data reversibly without deletion or financial impact.
