WHAT IT DOES

What update_lead_case_type does on Lawruler

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update_lead_case_type needs a policy

This tool modifies existing lead data by changing the case type field, which is a Write operation (reversible update). It does not retrieve data (Read), execute arbitrary code (Execute), permanently delete data (Destructive), or involve financial transactions (Financial). Severity is medium because incorrect case type assignments could misroute cases or affect internal workflows, but the change is easily reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'update_lead_case_type' and description states it 'Update[s] the case type of a lead/intake'. The verb 'update' combined with modifying lead metadata (case type field) indicates reversible data modification.
