  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why upsert_material is rated Medium

The tool performs write operations (upsert = create or update) on product materials within a storefront builder. This is reversible (materials can be deleted or modified again), so it is categorized as Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could corrupt product catalog data, but the blast radius is limited to material definitions within the storefront.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'upsert_material' combined with description 'Create or update a product material' explicitly indicates reversible creation and modification operations."

## Use case

AI agents use upsert_material 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.
