## Why hires_send_candidate_message is rated Medium

This tool creates and schedules a new email message, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. While it affects candidate communications (potentially affecting recruitment outcomes), the action is reversible—messages can be unsent or candidates can opt out.

From the tool's own definition: "'Schedule an email message to a candidate' — creates a new message record with scheduling, modifying the state of candidate communications."
