WHAT IT DOES

What estimates_update does on ServiceTitan MCP Server

AI agents use estimates_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.

RISK

Why estimates_update is rated Medium

The tool performs an update operation on estimates, which creates or modifies data reversibly. While destructive operations are possible in some business contexts, 'update' typically implies modification rather than deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'estimates_update' indicates modification of estimate data; empty description prevents full assessment of scope, but sibling tools (adjustments_update) confirm this server performs data mutations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs estimates_update safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ServiceTitan MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For estimates_update, this is the rule to start with:

estimates_update Rate-limited

estimates_update stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
