JanZerebecki added a comment. The first sentence in the task is the use case I looked at while coming up with my suggestion. To explain why these tools would use POST I came up with the Request-URI length. But another workable explanation is that the tool just doesn't bother to differentiate between write (update) and read-only query and thus to support both it always uses POST, which is a superset of what works with GET.
