## Why update_message_status is rated Medium

This tool modifies message metadata (delivery status) reversibly without deleting data or executing arbitrary operations. It falls under Write category as it updates existing data. Severity is medium because incorrect status updates could affect message tracking and business communications reliability, but the change is reversible and does not destroy data or create financial obligations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_message_status' and description 'Update the delivery status of a message' indicate modification of existing message records."

## Use case

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