## Why modify_order is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing market orders by changing their prices—a reversible Write operation. While it affects financial markets (the trading system), it does not move money, execute trades, or commit financial obligations; it only adjusts order metadata.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Change the price on an existing order' and 'Updates the price and re-sorts in the order book.' These are reversible modifications to order data."

## Use case

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