## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "update_product",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why update_product is rated Medium

The tool modifies existing product data (price, stock, images, other fields) but does not delete or irreversibly destroy data. It is reversible via subsequent updates. While product price/stock changes could have business impact, the tool itself is a standard Write operation on a storefront backend.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'update_product' and description states 'Update an existing product' with fields changeable including 'price/stock' and images. This is clearly a modification operation."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
