WHAT IT DOES

What transkribus_model_update_by_type does on Transkribus

AI agents use transkribus_model_update_by_type 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_model_update_by_type is rated Medium

The tool modifies an existing model resource (HTR/OCR or table/field model based on sibling context). Updates are Write-category actions. Severity is medium because model updates could affect transcription quality or workflow, but the impact is limited to metadata/configuration and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'update' and description states 'Update a model by its type and ID' — this creates or modifies data reversibly without irreversible deletion or code execution.
