RISK

Why update_disbursement is rated Medium

This tool modifies disbursement records, which are financial transactions. While categorized as Write (reversible modification) rather than Financial (which implies moving money), updating disbursement details could alter payment amounts, recipients, or timing. The high severity reflects that misuse could cause significant financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_disbursement' and description 'Update an existing disbursement in Sanka' indicate modification of financial disbursement records. The verb 'update' is reversible (Write category), but the financial context elevates severity.
