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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why update_tasks_categories is rated Medium

This tool modifies task category records reversibly. It is classified as Write rather than Destructive because update operations are typically reversible and do not permanently delete data. Severity is medium due to the potential for unintended data overwrites (fields set to empty strings if not included), which could disrupt task categorization workflows.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_tasks_categories' and description 'Updates a task category' indicate modification of existing data. The description mentions fields being 'set to either an empty string or' (appears truncated), suggesting potential data overwriting behavior."

## Use case

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