WHAT IT DOES

What update-group does on TgeBrowser MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why update-group needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating a group's name. It falls under Write category as it changes state but is not destructive (the old name can be changed again), does not execute external operations, and has no financial impact. Severity is low because renaming a group has minimal blast radius—it affects only organizational metadata within the browser automation system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update-group' and description 'Update an existing group name' indicate a modification operation that changes metadata (group name) without deleting or executing code.
