  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why update_opportunity_status is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data (opportunity status field) but the change is reversible—a status can be changed back to a previous value. This qualifies as Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because changing opportunity status affects sales pipeline tracking and revenue forecasting, but does not directly move money or delete data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name explicitly uses 'update' and description states it modifies opportunity status to specific values like 'won' or 'lost'. This is a reversible state change operation on CRM data."

## Use case

AI agents use update_opportunity_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.
