## Why update_message_status is rated Medium

This tool modifies the status field of an existing message, which is a reversible write operation. While it could mislead users about message delivery if abused (e.g., marking failed messages as delivered), it does not delete data, execute code, move money, or trigger irreversible changes.

From the tool's own definition: "'Update the delivery status of a message' indicates modification of existing message metadata/state without deletion or financial impact."

## Use case

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