## Why mine_changed_files is rated Medium

This tool writes/updates the search index by ingesting changed files. It modifies the index state (a write operation) but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or involve finances. Misuse could cause index corruption or stale/incorrect search results, hence medium severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Re-index files changed since last commit into MemPalace... keep the search index current"

## Use case

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