## Why appendRows is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data in a reversible manner. While it adds content to a spreadsheet, the changes can be undone (deleted, edited) and do not permanently destroy data. It does not execute arbitrary code, move money, or irreversibly delete content. The medium severity reflects that unintended row additions could corrupt spreadsheet structure or data integrity, but the changes remain recoverable.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Appends rows to the end of a sheet' and 'Data is added after the last row with content'. The verb 'appends' and the action of adding data to a Google Sheet indicates reversible data modification."

## Use case

AI agents use appendRows to create or update resources in Claude MCP x Google Docs, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claude MCP x Google Docs environment.
