WHAT IT DOES

What update_status does on kintone MCP Server (Python3)

AI agents use update_status to create or update resources in kintone MCP Server (Python3) — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your kintone MCP Server (Python3) environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_status needs a policy

The tool updates workflow status fields on records, which is a reversible modification (status can be changed again). This falls under Write category rather than Execute because it performs a specific data update operation rather than running arbitrary code or commands.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Update the status of a record' — modifies the state/workflow status of an existing record in kintone, a reversible data modification operation.
