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

## Why update_vendors is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing vendor data reversibly. It is a Write operation rather than Read (retrieves data), Execute (runs code/scripts), Destructive (irreversibly deletes), or Financial (moves money). Update operations can typically be rolled back or corrected. Severity is medium because vendor data updates could affect business operations and vendor relationships, but the impact is generally recoverable.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_vendors' and description 'Updates a vendor' indicate data modification. The description is truncated but clearly indicates an update operation on vendor records."

## Use case

AI agents use update_vendors 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
