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

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

## Why updateLists is rated Medium

This tool modifies metadata and configuration of lists (name, description, privacy settings) but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. Updates are reversible, placing it in the Write category. Severity is medium because unauthorized list updates could affect visibility and access controls, but the impact is limited to a single resource's properties.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool name is `updateLists` and the description states it can 'Update a list name, description, or privacy setting.' These are reversible modifications to existing data structures."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
