# contract-testing_admin_update_user Update a user's profile or active status (admin). Parameters: - userId (string) *required*: UUID of the user to update - active (boolean): Whether the user is active - email (string): New email address - firstName (string): First name - lastName (string): Last name - name (string): Display name Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `contract-testing_admin_update_user`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp/contract-testing-admin-update-user ## Facts - Tool: `contract-testing_admin_update_user` - Server: SmartBear MCP (`SmartBear/smartbear-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/SmartBear/smartbear-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 6 (1 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `name` | string | no | Display name | | `email` | string | no | New email address | | `active` | boolean | no | Whether the user is active | | `userId` | string | yes | UUID of the user to update | | `lastName` | string | no | Last name | | `firstName` | string | no | First name | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "contract-testing_admin_update_user", "arguments": { "userId": "" } } } ``` ## Why contract-testing_admin_update_user is rated Medium This tool creates or modifies user data reversibly. It can change email addresses, names, and active status—all Write operations. The 'admin' designation and ability to deactivate users elevates severity to high because unauthorized use could lock out legitimate users or compromise accounts, but changes are theoretically reversible (user can be reactivated, email changed back). From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'update' and description states 'Update a user's profile or active status (admin)'. Parameters include modifiable fields: email, firstName, lastName, name, and active status." Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation ## Use case AI agents use contract-testing_admin_update_user to create or update resources in SmartBear MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SmartBear MCP environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
