WHAT IT DOES

What update_transfer does on Omise MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_transfer needs a policy

This tool updates financial transfer records. While it doesn't initiate a new money movement, modifying transfer information (e.g., amounts, recipients, bank details) on pending transfers can directly affect how funds are moved. It's reversible in the sense that it's an update rather than a deletion, but the financial implications are significant — hence high severity.

From the tool's definition 'Update transfer information (only for pending transfers)' — modifies existing transfer data

update_transfer Rate-limited

update_transfer 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.
