WHAT IT DOES

What locations_update does on ServiceTitan MCP Server

AI agents use locations_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 locations_update is rated Medium

The tool name contains 'update', which is a reversible modification operation. Without a detailed description, we infer from naming convention and context (ServiceTitan is business management software; locations are mutable configuration data) that this writes/modifies location records. This is Write rather than Execute because it appears to update a specific resource (locations) rather than run arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'locations_update' indicates modification of location data. The 'update' verb in the name classifies this as a Write operation.
