## Why createTable is rated Medium

This tool creates tables within a Google Document, which is a reversible modification (tables can be deleted or edited). It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), move money (Financial), or merely retrieve data (Read).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states it 'Creates a new named table' — a creation operation that modifies the document structure. It accepts column definitions and formatting parameters, making it a write operation that adds new structured data to a Google Doc."

## Use case
