## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "update_contact",

}
```

## Why update_contact is rated Medium

The tool modifies existing contact records reversibly without deleting data or executing code. This is a classic Write operation. Severity is medium because contact information is personal data whose modification could affect communication or identity verification, but the operation is reversible and limited to contact record fields.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_contact' and description 'Update existing contact in local database' with parameters for phone_number, name, nickname, notes indicate data modification."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
