## Why example_update_entity is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating an entity. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute code (would be Execute), or move money (would be Financial).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update an existing entity', indicating modification of existing data."

## Use case
