Update ticket properties
AI agents use whmcs_update_ticket to create or update resources in Whmcs — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Whmcs environment.
This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating ticket properties (status, priority, notes, assignments, etc.). It is Write-category rather than Execute because it modifies structured data fields rather than triggering arbitrary operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'whmcs_update_ticket' combined with description 'Update ticket properties' indicates modification of existing ticket data. The WHMCS context confirms this is a business-critical customer support system.

"tools": {
"whmcs_update_ticket": {

"counter": "whmcs_update_ticket_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
