## Why business_units_update is rated Medium

The tool name clearly indicates it updates business unit data (a reversible modification). Given that it operates on ServiceTitan's business units—a core entity likely containing important configuration, settings, or organizational data—misuse could affect multiple business operations. Classified as Write rather than Destructive because 'update' typically modifies existing data reversibly rather than destroying it.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'business_units_update' indicates a modification operation. The verb 'update' is characteristic of Write operations that create or modify data reversibly. The description is empty, preventing direct confirmation of the scope and side effects."

## Use case

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