Why create_email_backup is rated Medium

This is categorized as Write rather than Read because it creates persistent new data objects (the backup itself) rather than merely retrieving existing data.
From the tool's definition The tool 'create_email_backup' explicitly performs a backup operation, which creates new data (backup files/snapshots).
