RISK

Why materials_update is rated Medium

Given the ServiceTitan context (field service management platform), this likely updates material inventory, pricing, or associated data—reversible changes.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'materials_update' with no description provided. The 'update' suffix indicates modification of existing data rather than deletion or creation.
