## Why update_group_label is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing data (a group label) but does not delete or destroy it, placing it in the Write category. The severity is medium because updating group labels could affect organization and visibility of recipes/data for users in that group, but the impact is limited in scope and reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool name is 'update_group_label' and the description states it will 'Update one group label by ID.' The verb 'update' indicates reversible modification of data."

## Use case

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