WHAT IT DOES

What transkribus_upload_bulk_update_doc_metadata does on Transkribus

RISK

Why transkribus_upload_bulk_update_doc_metadata is rated Medium

This tool modifies metadata for multiple documents at once (bulk update). Metadata changes are reversible, making this a Write operation rather than Destructive. The bulk nature and potential to affect many documents simultaneously elevates severity from low to medium, as an agent error could corrupt metadata across multiple uploads.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'upload_bulk_update' and description states 'Bulk update document metadata for uploads' — indicates creation/modification of metadata at scale.
